Jason,
Look for unsoldered connections on the front panel board.
Turn the RF Gain fully counterclockwise to see if the LED Bargraph
illuminates.
For the LCD display, peek under the LCD to see if pin 1 of the U1 socket
was missed during soldering - that does happen frequently. If pin 1 is
not soldered, carve away some of the plastic from the socket so you can
reach the pin with your soldering iron and flow solder onto it.
If the LED bargraph does not light, check to see if there is +5 volts on
the front panel board, especially at Pin 8 of U3 and U4 and the
collectors of Q1 and Q2.
Since it worked before, the most likely problem is an unsoldered connection.

When I built the kit to the point of testing the 40m receive I turned the radio back on and get no response from the display at all. Nothing on the LCD and nothing on the green bar either. I do hear the relays clicking on power up but nothing else. I took the control board and the display off and then reseated them with the same results. I sent an email to Elecraft but their response was that the chief engineer is off until Wednesday and I would have to wait on him for help.
