MMDVM Jumbo Spot Rev 1.7 09/2018 Modes won't enable.

Hi,
I have a MMDVM Jumbo Spot Rev 1.7 09/2018 mounted on a Pi Zero W. It works perfectly no problems. I purchased a second Pi Zero W and MMDVM identical to the first. The 2nd MMDVM will not work. Through a process of trial and error I have narrowed the problem down to the 2nd MMDVM board.
When I take my first board off the Pi (which works fine) and put the second board on (running the same SD card) the second board will not run. I can access Pi_Star with the local command fine, I can edit the software fine. Everything software wise appears to work perfectly. However the MMDVM board itself only has to lights PWR and SVC. The lights do not come on for any of the modes selected (DMR & YSF) on the Dashboard the Network Status indicators are green but above the Modes Enabled panel for both are red. Occasionally they will both flash green for two seconds than go back to red again. The hotspot will not send or receive. The OLED screen is not working either.
Anybody have a similar experience with a solution? Any Ideas?
