Well, I found new love for this pedal... and it's decided to crap out on me again.
I think it's done this once or twice before.
What could be up ? Easy fix ?

Sounds silly, but did you try different cables and make sure they are pluged in well? I had a pedal that I thought died. It ended up the cable wasn't pushed in quite far enough. I have also had problems with cable shorts and stuff. Otherwise it might just be a wire that came loose inside it.

Try the pedal all by itself just to make sure it's really that pedal and try different cables while the other pedals are unplugged from it as suggested.
Since it happens in bypass, I'm guessing it probably isn't a loose wire.

I took it apart again to look for loose wires - Nothing.
Checked cables again - No issue there.
But in taking it apart and spraying contact cleaner on it and used a ear-bud to wipe it clean, & it has come alive again. So confused.
... I guess till next time....

It MAY be a loose wire but if it only happens in bypass, I doubt it. Sounds like an issue with the flip-flop switching and/or it's JFET transistors. Might just be a loose component.

Switch or jacks

It really couldn't be the switch or jacks. It seems to work fine when engaged.
The switch is just a momentary switch so it wouldn't work just one way and not the other. It doesn't have an alternate state.
If it was the jacks, it wouldn't work in both bypass AND when engaged.
