Ice Helix 5

Hey guys,
Purchased an ICE Helix 5 GPS SONAR last February the handful of times I had it out last year and this year as well everything was working pretty good. I also used it in our boat this summer.
I went out yesterday and noticed my sonar was not working, was not reading a depth/ would blink at 0.0ft. I have tried a new battery, I went to CT and purchased a new transducer, the proper XL 9 20, and seemed to have the same issue. Just made sure software version was up to date, and it is. Normally the transducer sounds (Click, click click) etc. sending out the waves. I now notice the transducer not sending frequencies, but hear a faint sound from the head unit it self (Display - the same click click the transducer normally sent.)
Any ideas or suggestions, the GPS still works no issues, it could be plugs/ pins. Who knows. Does anyone know anywhere close to Ottawa that would service these units? Could be a long shot but who knows.
Thanks in advance guys.
