When it worked, the remote worked too...
The situation is that I get the boot logo on the display, then a message of loading stuff... and then it goed to standby (light flickers)...
I can still hear the disk spinning... but it does not power on (besides the light)... not from the buttons not from the remote.
Emplode on XP can not find the player (on USB and Serial). But before the crash/freeze that was no problem...
I can upgrade also hyperT (but there i get no prompt)...
I have done the things that you sugested to the pins on the mb.

I use the Kenwood remote.
