I hope it hasn't started to wipe out the box. I do have a spare orange box that I ran for years with no issues. I just found the sticker on the battery and its much older than I thought, April 2010! I really don't know how it has lasted this long. Batteries here are good for about 2 years tops. Needless to say I will be getting a new battery.
I would say that your box is toast. Doesn't take much for them to go. I've seen them loose their ground and pop. If you need a spare I have several laying around.
