FS7: SDI 1 Output Dead - FS7 M2

Help, please! SDI 1 output is dead on my Sony FS7 M2. I was thinking that my Gratical Eye had died and now need to do further testing to see if it's actually the camera, as I can't get SDI 1 to light up a monitor either. That won't be hard to do further testing of the Gratical Eye, but is there some setting I could be overlooking that could have gotten messed up that would kill SDI 1 and not SDI 2???
 
A quick look at the manual shows that you can turn the SDI output ON & OFF, but it appears to be a universal setting that controls both. Basics you may have already checked: the BNC cable, sometimes they do get damaged and crap out. Also, do you have a right angle adapter on the SDI 1? Those die, too.
 
Checked all the basics. The Gratical is on its way to Zacuto and the camera is on its way to Video One Repair in CA. Let's hope all goes well! Not fun to ship gear away, but hopefully they can do it in a timely manner.
