And any board mounting screws that often are ground connections. The 
lastic material relaxes the contact pressure, the very definition of

 First thing I would do whenever one of the later Omnis I have owned did
 something crazy is clean the power supply connectors thoroughly with
 Deoxit.

 I have seen some very strange phenomena due to dirty PS connectors and
 what you describe is in the general line of my experiences, i.e. winding
 up in some odd in-between mode of operation.

 Anyway, it is free and it takes 5 minutes.

 Next I would look at connectors on the boards. Unplug, clean, and reseat.

 Beyond that see what TT has to say tomorrow.
