[ICOM] PW-1 CI-V programming question

I'm hoping someone can help me with a PW-1 programming issue.  

 

My 756 ProIII/PW-1 interface was working fine until some nearby lightning
strikes.  I'm trying to figure out what, if anything, has gone wrong with
the CI-V programming, or if it's just me.  Here's what happens now:

 

1.	Pro3 is on and PW-1 is off, but the front panel frequency LED is
lit.  The Pro3 is on 20 meters and the PW-1 shows 14.  
2.	If I then select 15 meters on the Pro3, the PW-1 doesn't budge.
3.	If I then start transmitting CW on 15 meters, the PW-1 LED switches
from 14 to 21 in about 1 second.  This will repeat no matter what frequency
I switch to.the PW-1 LED frequency won't switch until I start transmitting.

 

So there seems to be some communication between the Pro3 and the PW-1.  But
when I try reprogramming the CI-V address, the following takes place:

 

1.	Pro3 and PW-1 are off.
2.	Press UP and DOWN buttons and push Power on the PW-1.  This should
reset things.
3.	Turn off the PW-1.
4.	Press the Input button on the PW-1 and then push Power on the PW-1.
5.	Press power on the Pro3.
6.	Wait for the Pro3 to "boot", then rotate the Pro3 knob, which should
make the PW-1s input light go steady.  But it keeps blinking at me.  That
never used to happen in the past.

 

What am I missing or doing incorrectly.  I know I've done this correctly
before, so I'm confused.
