Update: I gave it a gentle thwack as recommended by Rio Technical Support and it seems to have dislodged the stuck hard drive head, or whatever the problem was.

But now it's in a continuous loop - startup, loading visuals, etc, displays the track name as per normal for a few seconds, then it reboots.

Any ideas?
