Sports: [DucatiST] still electrical gremlins

recap on my request for help:

'99 ST2. a little over a month ago I found that it was taking longer and longer for any electricity to show itself as going to my gauge cluster when I turned the key. After a week it stopped altogether.

I brought it to my local shop, who told me that it's "absolutely the keyswitch" so we agreed to order a new one and they'd install it [not a lot of time for wrenching at the time]. A month later the switch still hasn't arrived from Italy, so I bought a new OEM unit on eBay and installed it myself this past Thursday. We coaxed it into starting once on the old switch so I could drive it home, then I made the swap, and it worked perfectly.

Friday morning it has the same symptom - first turn of the key, no response; second turn, lights up immediately. But now it won't start; I press the starter and for a second it sounds like it's trying to stop, then all I get is whirring. Release the button and try again, just whirring. Key off then on, then try again, same problem.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Could this be an ecu/eprom? If so, is anyone sitting on a spare that I can test in it before I buy another new part with money I don't have, just to have it not fix the problem?

Thanks,
