Exactly, that's what I thought to. So that's what I did. However, although I can talk to my empeg and connect to it and transfer files and what not it is still acting strange.

For some reason iit still just boots up, shows the normal boot sequence on the screen, hard drive chatters, turns itself off and then like dies. The remote won't work and the unit's controls on the front panel won't do anything. It's the wackiest thing I've ever seen...
