[Bug] Popcorn Hour wont turn on

[zoltrix12]

Hello,

This problem started recently. My popcorn hour wont turn on when I push the power button on my remote. (note that the red light is still on and there is power to the unit). At first I thought it was my Harmony remote, but then I went back to the original remote and the problem still persists.

As of right now, I have to unplug and plug it back in to turn the machine on (thank god this turns it on). Once it's on, all of the functions work flawlessly. I can even turn it off from the remote.

It seems likethe only command that it wont receive is "ON".

Has anyone experienced this problem and know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

There's something about Harmony remotes and this but I cant remeber, search the forum for 'harmony' and see if you can find it.

Thanks for the reply.

As I mentioned, the problem still persists with the popcorn hour remote as well. So it's not the harmony remote that's causing the problem.

Does anyone know of a solution?


Thanks!

Hi zoltrix12

Did you ever find a solution.

Maybe not too relevant, but I am a new a300 owner and I think my pch has turned on about five times in its first month.

I usually press power, wait for nothing to happen and then press eject and wait for it to reboot.

If it just turned on and didn't hang all the time it would be a good unit.
