I also pulled the control board and re-powered the unit with the control
board removed.  I heard relays click on the RF board.  I then re-installed
the control board and re-powered the unit.  The display came on for just a
few seconds with the Elecraft name and then went blank probably after the
12V pulled down.

I am not quite sure where to look to further isolate the issue.  I know the
unit was on the 40 M band when the problem occurred.
