It's a few years ago, so I may be remembering incorrectly, but I had similar problems, first tried swapping the controller for a known good one, and it still happened. Looked up the serial number and found the back plane was one of the bad ones. Got a replacement board on ebay and the unit came back to life for a few months until I retired it because of fan issues.
