Unfortunately, a hardware repair is the only solution. What most people in this thread, were not telling, when they said, 'It suddenly stopped working on a shoot...', is that at some point during that shoot they connected and disconnected, the SDI cable while both camera and the VA were switched on. SDI ports, particularly 3G and higher are very susceptible to this, and it is a chip that goes; caused by the momentary shorting of inner pin to shield; requiring total replacement of that board, if even possible. The cost of which will be beyond the value of the unit now.
This is most likely what happened to your unit at some point and almost certainly what the seller did, knew and was not telling. If you still have a window to return this unit, I would take it.
