Bad victors are usually very easy to diagnose due to smoke coming out of them, I've only had this happen when I was dumb and let some large metal swarf land in them.
We also have swapped a PWM cable from a working Victor in to one of the faulty ones and it still continued to blink, so we don't believe this is our issue. It's not smoking either. We really don't want to return these if we don't have to!
