[Elecraft] KX1 died. Where to start?

I built my KX1 about a year ago (#2199).  Everything tested out and worked
fine.  It's been on the shelf until about two weeks ago.  I finally got
going on cw this past few months (I love my K3), then this past few weeks
made a few contacts with my KX1 (what a thrill that was!).  It's a wonderful
radio!

When I went to turn it on today, it appears to be dead.  I can hear some
white noise in the earphones, but no display, no keyer/transmit sidetone, no
relay sounds, etc.  Same with internal 6 AA and external 12v.  Only option
installed is KXAT1.

I suppose I need to take out the board and start doing some of the
troubleshooting shown in Appendix E -- but thought I'd check to see if
someone else has had this happen and had a suggested (quick and easy :)
solution - or a recommendation on where to start on troubleshooting.
