As it looks like it was the IC after all, but I was hopeful that it was a simple fault, but I got quite a few years out of it.
My CGEM II died as well. Pretty sure it's the board. Question: what is an IC?
My CGEM mount sudden DEATH!!!!

Thank you James and Michael. I was hoping it was repairable because it's $314. I get the "No Response 16" and "No Response 17" errors.
The weird thing is Celestron tech support people never thought of the problem being the main board. In fact, after they replaced my new StarSense which, of course, didn't work either, they still wanted me to try hooking my StarSense hand contoller to the StarSense camera, then a cable from the camera to the hand controller port. They never mentioned the main board. I just googled and found it.
My telescope is an A-P EDT 130. The image sharpness and detail are indescribable. Now I fear I'm stuck with a less than adequate mount for astrophotography purposes.
I'll bite the bullet and replace it and hope it doesn't happen again.
Thanks again.
