This is somewhat unusual as aux/1link ports are being powered straight from the 24v PSU, which also powers the main controller on the EB832. So on a standalone EB832 you can't have it working with LED status indicators on but no power on 1link/aux. This is of course, unless you have another power source over aquabus coming into the unit and powering the main controller independently.
So, yes, I'd suspect the 24v PSU inside, but first I'd verify by unplugging absolutely everything from the EB832 and plugging it into the wall outlet. If you don't see the neptune logo lighting up at all, the 24v PSU is gone. Otherwise, the problem is elsewhere.
