After years of flawless service, my player has finally developed a problem. Here are the givens..

True empeg player
Version 2.00 software
2nd HD added last year
Latest HiJack software

Here is the problem. This morning I get in the car to come to work. Turn it on, it boots. I see the HiJack logo, see the animations, and get the "Loading databases" and other messages. The system gets to the "Loading Visuals" message and then the screen goes dark, as it should. The standby light (is that what it is called?) in the upper right over the volume knob is blinking normally. Then, the system reboots starting at the "Loading Databases" message. It loads all the other modules and blanks after loading the visuals. Small pause and then repeats. Over and over.

No response from any button pressing, and it does the same here at my desk plugged in to the AC adaptor.

I have noticed that the battery icon (low power?) has been active the past few days.. its hot here in Texas and when my car runs the AC it seems to drain the voltage thus activating the battery icon. Has something fried inside?

The drives spin, I can hear them. If a cable had unplugged I would think the player would give me a message saying the drive was not found but I dont get that message.

If it IS something electrical then I am pretty much screwed I figure, not an easy thing to track down, not fix. Any ideas?
