I agree with millercarbon that it might be bad electrical connection. I have Benchmark DAC3 that suddenly stopped receiving signal from remote. I opened it and found that infrared diode was poorly soldered on one side. It was side of ground plane that required more heat to solder properly. You can try to gently shake/twist it.
Samac has good point that circuitry, including stand-by light, is controlled by micro, that possibly needs reset. Good luck, let us know.
