Bike Won't Start

Is anyone here able to give me some guidance about this problem I have?

Went to start my RSV this morning; switched on the ignition, the system goes through the usual cycle, but this time I get Err flashing on the dash, the immobiliser light flashes about once every 4 seconds, and the starter is not functioning. Oh, and the neutral light goes out. I've attached a photo, if it's of any use.

I've not had time to check the fuses, etc. yet (I was trying to get to work), but if someone has experience of this, and can shed some light, I should be able to get my bike back on the road sooner, rather than later. :)
 
Just a thought: I changed the left-hand cooling fan the other day, but didn't start the bike afterwards. Could this affect the CANBUS system, I wonder?
 
Checked the main fuses and connectors to the ECU under the seat, but couldn't find any problems. I did notice, though, that the fuel pump isn't priming; I presume the immobiliser still being active with the ignition switched on is the cause of this. But why is the immobiliser still active?
 
Water ingress into,the immobilized probably

Do a search you should be able to find details

I read up about that earlier today. Just had a look, and the immobiliser unit looks fine; no cracks. However, on of the connectors, which supplies the feed to illuminate the dash, had some corrosion. Tried giving it a quick clean but to no avail. Need a bit more time to check/clean them all properly, though. Knowing what each connector feeds would be a useful thing to know, though.
