Steering pump or gear box?

My 02 Ex V10 suddenly lost its power steering. And I mean completely, so it was a bitch to get it home. There are no leaks and the reservoir is full. It makes no noise at all when I try and turn the wheel, so it does not even sound like the pump is working at all.

Does this sound like the pump or the gear box? Is there an easy way to tell before I just order the pump and hope that is the problem?

My money would probably be on the pump too. Although It might be the gearbox (steering gear.)

Not sure how you'd go about diagnosing it to be honest, aside from just replacing parts ***** nilly. Hopefully someone chimes in.
