A-110 - No longer working

[azuravian]

We were watching a TV show and it ended with no problems, when we selected the next episode, it just went to a black screen and never loaded. I have since restarted the PCH, and I get to the main screen, but almost anything I try just causes the PCH to "hang" (showing the "hourglass" in the top left corner).

I have tried the following:

Accessing the HDD >> hourglass.
Accessing a share >> hourglass.
Accessing a USB drive >> loads to the screen with options for Video, audio, etc., then when you pick any option >> hourglass.
I have gone to setup and maintenance, it lets me get there, but when I try to either select Firmware update or restore defaults >> hourglass.

I have left the "hourglass" on the screen for about 10 minutes and it never goes away, just keeps cycling through.

Any ideas? Is there any way to boot the thing in a maintenance mode or something so that I can update the firmware (if that's the problem)?


EDIT: Fixed it. I removed the HDD, and the PCH worked. I put the HDD back in and it still works. Still no idea what caused it.
