Your best bet would be to contact RobotLady over the phone or via email so she can get the full story. She will have a ton of questions to ask you so be prepared. However, as everything in life is not free don't expect her to solve your problem for nothing.
Questions she may ask: What was the displayed in the display when it stopped.?
Will it run if you move it away from the perimeter wire and do a start?
Your perimeter wire may be disconnected causing it to stop thinking it's out of bounds......
Give her a shout.....

Happy New Year!! Just saw your message now...
Most likely a fuse blew on the motherboard. There are 3 fuses. Two are standard automotive fuses and one is the glass type. The glass one is hidden under a black plastic cap. Take each fuse out one at a time and measure it with your ohm meter. If you get a high ohms reading (or no reading at all) then the fuse blew. Fuses should read close to zero ohms normally.
The other possibility is a catastrophic failure of the battery, but this is pretty unlikely. We don't get too many reports of that happening. Check the fuses first...
