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...
