I had the same problem, I think it was the switch wire connection. Jody told me when that connection isn't good it is, or is like (I'm not sure which) being in the no start mode. What setting are you trying to start it in? From experience, if you have the drive through tune, don't try and start on that one 
I can gurantee that if there is a problem with the chip Jody will take care of you. Don't worry about that. Good move getting the F-6, emailing tunes is convienient.

Double check that you have the cable installed properly. I had the same sort of issue.
DP in. Won't start. DP out. Fires right up. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Then I went to pull out the switcher and cable to take it all the way out and I realized I'd put the cable into the switcher upside down. Although if your switcher lights up that is probably not the issue.
