Hi,

Yeah, that's what happens when it doesn't find the drive(s). It just shows the no hard disk drives found message, indicates X's in the eyes of the Linux penguin, and stays on. It doesn't power down on its own.

You have to remove the player from the sled while it is live. When you do that, you will often hear the player internal drives spin down.

That's what mine have done even when a drive cable has become loose.

I have never thought this was abnormal.
