[Elecraft] Dead PX3?

[John Fritze]

Dear Group,

I think I might have to send my PX3 back to Elecraft, but thought I would
post and ask here first:

My PX3 seems to be inhabited by gremlins. I turned it on today (haven't
used it in a while) only to find that nothing is functioning as it should.
The power is not coming on with the KX3, and the knob isn't functioning
properly.  I went ahead and put the latest firmware in, and for a few
minutes it seemed to work.  When I turned the knob I could get it to make
some adjustments (except the markers) and cycle through menu options.  When
I tried to cycle the power, it did not follow the KX3, so I turned it off
via the power switch, but when turning it back on again, nothing worked.  I
did a factory reset: hold LABELS and cycle the power, but no joy.

Never been dropped or wet.  It's been in my carry bag since last fall.

Anyone have any ideas?
