[Elecraft] K3 Won't Turn On all of a sudden!

I was happily using my K3 as the control head for a remote K3 via a pair of
RemoteRig 1258 controllers. I powered down using the POWER button for a few
hours. When I tried to power up again, I couldn't get the K3 to fully start
up. While the POWER button is depressed, the screen lights up its
background color with nothing displayed. When I let go of the button, it
goes dark. I saw this once before, about a month ago, but it went away.
Disconnecting all cables from the radio makes no difference. The power
cable from the SEC 1223 PS reads 14.1V no load. Any ideas what might be
going on?

Thanks,
