Hi Graham
My EQMOD homemade cable for the HEQ5Pro (TTL/USB cable with RF45 connection on the end) start to misbehave a couple of months ago. The mount was getting lost or dropping connection during slews as you describe. I'm pretty sure it was the stretching and moving of cables upsetting it. In anger one night I pulled out my spare TTL/USB cable, cut the end off and spliced it on to a a commercial Cat 5 cable with reinforced RJ45 plug. Has been fine since.
The flashing light is supposed to signal low voltage, so probably worth looking for a high amp power supply. I use a cheapish 3A from local electronics stores and behaves ok.
The fact it all works through the handset sounds like a connection problem to me, not the mount controllers.
