Defective Electro Harmonix Battalion

Hi,

I already wrote to the vendor and to the EH forums about this issue, but thought I'd check out here as well in the meanwhile.

So I purchased an EH Battalion last year. It was working fine until this morning.
Now when I power it, all the led lights (bypass, dist and comp) are always on and the pedal is completely bypassed as far as I can tell : neither the stomps or knobs do anything at all.

I've had pedals go bad on me before but never this way... I was wondering if it was an indication of anything in particular.

EDIT
I had plugged the power supply wrong and that caused the Battalion to freak out.

Zombie resurrection to say thank you @Raman! I had the same issue and you pointed me in the right direction to fix it. Talkbass rules!
