Yes, it's the standby LED I'm referring to. I'm not getting any images on the screen. I've tried hyperterminal, and I'm not seeing any boot information. I tried applying an upgrade, as you suggested. When I tried to upgrade, Emplode couldn't find my riocar. Once I applied power to the riocar during the upgrade process the progress bar would continue all the way to the end, and then Emplode would tell me that it couldn't find the player.
