Post Won't turn on with the internal HDD attached
Hi,

I have quite an old firmware release (from late 2010) so I will apply the latest one once it finishes downloading, but for now, I am wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.

The POHD boots fine without the HDD attached, sees the network etc etc, however as soon as I plug the internal HDD back in, it won't start at all - power on the the button turns red (standby) but won't turn on from there - either with the remote or pressing the button.

I am hoping the firmward update will fix the problem, but I am not so sure - it has worked with this firmware for a long time - I havent powered the unit up for about 4 months though and now nothing...

Ideas? Thoughts?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Post Latest firmware: Still won't turn on
Update:

I have applied the latest firmware (viewtopic.php?f=44&t=18238) yet I still cannot turn on the POHD with the internal HDD installed. It starts fine with the HDD removed.

Have you tried the hard disk in another USB enclosure or a computer to see if it is still actually working?

It sounds to me like that is the problem.

I don't have another HDD kicking around that I can put inside, but it will boot with a USB drive attached externally - and media plays fine from that external drive.

Either the hard disk or the power supply. See http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=19325.
