eGreat EG-M31B black screen

Bug eGreat EG-M31B black screen
My previously-reliable EG-M31B didn't survive a reboot recently - every other time I've gotten the banner and it's come up, but now I don't even get the banner on-screen. The green LED does come on, but I cannot ping the box from another host even after waiting for a bit, so I guess it's not booting.

But still - even if the hard drive were dead, I'm still supposed to get the initial splash screen on the TV, right? Huh

Next step will be to take the hard drive out and see what happens, but I'm baffled - I haven't touched a thing, no settings changes, nothing - no cables moved/damaged, etc.

Anyone else seen similar symptoms?

It's a few years old.

Oops ... I forgot to update this thread.

It turned out that the Linux filesystem on the eGreat was damaged, that's why it wouldn't come up.

I took the EG-M31B in to work and connected it via USB to one of my Linux systems. I was then able to run the Linux filesystem checker ("e2fsck") and repair the damage, and once I brought it back home and plugged it in, it was fine again! It's worked fine ever since ...
