Unhappy EQ 6 problem

Okay, I have the power light on the mount but no handbox L.e.d at all, the handbox worked last night when I applied direct power as if you were going to do an update on the PC. The power supply is a regulated 12V 2.5amp power pack. Same result with the eq 6 lead into a power tank. The light is on but no hand box action. I sprayed all the contacts with electrical cleaner, took the panel off the mount and there was no moisture or crap in there. Took the hand box apart and there (to my eyes) doesn't seem to be any loose connectors or dirt.
Using an EQDIR connector straight into the mount also results in Nada- which is curious as a couple of months ago it would read that com port ok and work. Switching comm ports doesn't help.
What can I do next? kick it in the nuts?
