FAQ

Basically, it could be one of a few things. Some are harmless, some require repair. This will help diagnose which you have. It could be anything from a loose cable or jumper, to a bad cable, to dry solder connections.

Very cool. You might still want to look for the loose cable. It is very common, especially if it is bumped around a lot. Keep a watch on it - if it starts happening more frequently, or you start getting other disk related symptoms, you might still need to look deeper.

Happened to me just the other day - but I had a customised boot logo so the contact support message only displayed very briefly. The music seemed to slow down, sound like a scratched CD then stop; the empeg wouldn't boot again! I gave the HD cable a push, and it works perfect.
