There are just too many possibilities here.
First, you need to verify that every card, the memory, and the PS are
installed properly and snugly. It's not at all unusual for a road trip and
the attendant moving to dislodge connections.
A local geek would be very helpful in this process. I'd also suggest you get
the power supplies tested.
If the data is very important, I'd stop fooling with this and get the data
safely secured before proceeding further.
