Some of these devices with circuit boards will "lock out" after three tries at ignition. Your best bet is to have a hand held meter, pull the fuses, and check each one. By pulling the fuses, you will remove power to the circuit boards and they should reset.
As was mentioned, corroded or dirty connections should be addressed. Buy a can of contact cleaner and clean every connection. Caig brand Deoxit 5 is the best cleaner (sold at Guitar Center and Radioshack).
You can't trust those idiot light gauges. They may lead you astray. Buy a meter.
Another potential issue is schedule of diagnosis. Firing the stove, initially, then coming back later and opening the cylinder valves may not be proved that there is propane in the lines. Opening a tank valve too fast will cause modern tanks to fault to a closed state, i.e. no propane going out of cylinder. Every time you open a cylinder valve, fire the stove burners. This will confirm there is propane in the lines.
