True. Unless they accidentally fried the ECU somehow, it's very unlikely it just "went bad" while sitting there for that period of time. So my first guess would be wiring or some electrical bug somewhere.

Instead of getting an ECU from someone else, I'd test your ECU on another car if possible. Because if the issue is that it got fried, the loaner ECU may run the same luck in your car.

Do a controlled test first (your ECU in a car you know hasn't been touched by a performance tuning shop). If it's dead then, you should be weary of plugging in a new ECU until you get everything checked for proper connection and voltages etc.

Just a suggestion to avoid further complications.
