So, Thursday I reformatted/reimaged my drive. Sunday it spontaneously started skipping and rebooted for the first time, so much for formatting as a fix.


But worse, this morning, playing back a scheduled recording of good morning america, I totally lost video on the s-video connection, while the audio kept playing. The vga port was still active but the s-video port was no-signal (the TV blacked out like there was no signal). Using the power button had no effect.


I then held the button in for the reset and video came back afterward. I can tell this thing is approaching an early demise because no matter how convenient it is, my wife is reaching her limit of forgiveness for the reboots and now this new problem.


Anyone else seen the video output go black while the audio carries on?

Thanks.

Just had this happen last night. Component out still working, s-video blank.


Wiggled the cables w/o any change, turned it on and off, but didn't have time to do any other trouble-shooting. I'll try rebooting tonight.
