Check the power head. Remove the cover and see if maybe it got too hot and wires melted together. Also check the connections and connectors for good contact. This is a simple check and very easily could be the problem. With time, this area gets worn out and may be needing some cleaning updating of old wires, etc. The older they get, the more current draw, therefore heat, they generate, thus causing melting problems.
