After unplugging a RTV 55xx & plugging it back in, when should the fan kick on?
It looks like the hard drive in one of my RTVs has gone belly up -- I'm stuck on the "Please Wait" screen with a flicker every 10 seconds or so. I think I've tried all the regular steps (hold power button, unplug & wait, disconnect ethernet cable, disconnect all cables, hit power button a few times, plug back in, ad nauseum).
I've done the "replace a failed hard drive" on my RTVs two or three times before and I've had to replace the power supply on at least one of my units.
To be honest, I've never paid attention to when the fan starts, but what I have noticed in trying to troubleshoot this problem is that the fan isn't coming on at any time during the "Please Wait" time. So, I'm wondering if the hard drive failed because the fan failed, or if the hard drive just failed with no warning as has happened to me a few times before?
I'd hate to order a new hard drive from Mikeyboy only to find out after installation that the fan is bad . . .
Any thoughts/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
