Did my ASI183MC Pro suddenly die?

Hi all, went to go do a polar alignment last night. The camera was working fine two nights earlier and I got this ... I see this pattern whether it's exposed to the sky or in this case with the lens cap on. I reinstalled the drivers, but no go. Is there some Sharpcap setting I possibly messed up? Before this my darks were really good and images were only limited by my skills. Otherwise I think the camera (which is still on warranty) is heading back to ZWO. I'm hoping that's not the case. I did try the software and same USB cable with my ZWO ASI224MC and that camera works fine

Image taken a week ago. Everything seemed fine, darks and lights

~~What it looks like now with the lens cap on. When pointed at dark sky I can still see the patter vividly~~

You could test in ASIStudio. Or please send us the fit file via Dropbox or Google Driver to show us the pattern you mentioned? So we can get a better look at this.

Sorry it took awhile. Got food poisoning . Here are links to my newly created drop box. First, a master dark taken with Sharpcap, sorry it doesn't save the individual frames median of 64 dark frames taken before June 4th used on the Sadr region light frames. A single light frame of the Sadr Region (no dark applied) . Finally a single dark frame taken together looks like the horrible jpg above. All exposures 60 sec 111 gain 10 offset -10c
