I have had a Pio 503cmx/5002 for about 3 months, it gets lots of heavy use all in consumer video and computer/htpc usage profile. It operated about 8 hours/day.
I have had a problem pop up twice and am worried.
The symptom is: I power up (with the remote or side button, not the hard power switch) and instead of coming up, the panel makes a click (normal startup sound) but instead of the screen lighting up, i get a blink pattern on the green power status light (maybe 5 or six rapid binks, I am sure this is some error message concerning something on self check.)
If I try to power off and on (with the remote) the error pattern continues.
If I disconnect the power cord, wait about 30 seconds and turn it on, it has come back with no problem both times the problem has occurred.
As I said, this has only happened twice, but I am curious if this is an indication of an imminent failure of some component, an indication of bad power supply or something else entirely!
Any help, advice would be welcomed..
