Yes - it went to Crashdata, but not fixable. They supplied a new one and copied the coding from the old one so it was a straight plug-in replacement. Was cheaper than just the ECU from Peugeot/Citroen and they wanted to charge me a couple of hours fitting & re-coding the van to recognise it. (You could fit it and remove it again in less than a minute!). The dealer did say that they get a few a month with the same thing - usually motorhomes.
Mine has been OK for about 3 years since Crashdata repaired it but I do try to leave it on hook up . Apparently turning the ignition on then waiting for the warning lights to go out helps somehow?
Yes, I'd been doing all that, and the van is a camper with solar that trickle charges the cab battery, so it's always full (there is quite a bit of parasitic draw on these vans that will flatten a battery in a few weeks, as you probably know). So I was gutted when I bogged the engine and almost stalled it and the effin' airbag light came on! (Got it in 3rd rather than 1st leaving some traffic lights).
