thanks to those who responded- I ended up calling Lippert today and even though they are closed on weekends they have an on call phone tech who was able to tell me the correct procedure for getting the front jacks to move. Their manual shows 3 solenoid valves that you have to use an allen wrench to screw in clockwise and then operate a cordless drill on the end of the hydraulic motor. problem is that didn't work. I happened to notice another solenoid on the right front jack itself (left jack had no solenoid). Turns out you have to use the allen wrench to screw in ONLY that solenoid clockwise when you want just the front jacks to move manually. Now all is good, waiting on a new control board and now my camping weekend is saved. Hooray!
