Last night I was transferring a DATvia PCM-R500 > MT, with standard Hosa coax. I fell asleep half-way through, and was not able to power-down the unit (running off of bat. sled), or save the incoming .wav.
This morning, I am unable to power on the unit in any capacity. Initially, I thought it wouldn't power-on due to having no juice, so I hooked it up to the normal AC power adapter for charge. I get NOTHING on-screen with this. I tried the various "orders" with which to do this (plug in to wall, THEN MT, - plug in to MT, then wall etc...) but get nothing. I've tried three different outlets and am unable to get response/power at the MT.
Anyone have any ideas about this? There were no noticeable power surges in the house last night, no power failures, and the R500 is rock-solid as ever...the DAT is rewound, so it obviously played through to the end. FWIW, I run all the power supplying the R500 through a Monster power protector, and with the MT on battery, even if I'd had a surge, it should have been protected.
