Since this happened right after you changed a chain, I have to think you somehow messed up the RD, and now it's in Crash Mode.

I called the LBS and asked if I could try recovery mode. I tried it and no dice. I will let everyone know what they find out.

Specifically at some point did you connect to e-tube with a PC get a successful check that the system is operating correctly with all devices found then log out properly?

Maybe helpful in the future would be having one of these quick setup guides available?

I got my bike back and the Di2 is working and $12 later it's as good as new....Are you ready for the answer to the problem? It was a loose wire in the handlebars that connects from the DI2 controller to the junction box. DOH!!!! I asked him how in the world would changing your chain make a wire come loose in the handlebars. He said he has heard of stranger things.

Probably just coincidence. It happens. Electrical gizmos should always be checked for continuity from end to end when something is partially/not working.

Think a minute about how its not typical here for people to post about their Di2 systems being dead and they cannot figure out how to fix. Id say the vast majority are like me with multiple years of use with never an issue. Its like the introduction of auto automatic tranny's and all the nay sayers back then stating they'll never buy a car with one and here we are 70 years later and good luck finding a stick.
However, another argument for auto trans is that supposedly they save more fuel than manuals do nowadays, well that's great till that transmission blows, then all the fuel you saved is gobbled up by the rebuild cost and then some.
Autos came into fad because Americans are lazy and can't drive their cars correctly, the same reason you can now find auto parallel parking on some cars, Americans can't park either even though that is supposed to be part of the driving test when you get your license!! Then along came auto slow and stop because Americans can't pay attention to their driving, auto warning of things to your left and right because Americans can pay attention to where they're at, and soon will come a true auto driving car because Americans simply can't drive period.
Oops, did I start a fire storm?

First test ride went great. Just a couple of minor trim adjustments.
Generally it's always something simple...rule of thumb, "don't panic", start from the beginning and check everything first.
Glad it was a simple and inexpensive fix.
