Jak,

It is possible that the power outage, especially if it was a low
voltage condition, caused the microprocessor to lock up. I'd just use
it until it dies as well.

Unplugging most modern equipment for a few minutes if it fails to
operate is not a bad idea in general, as this will usually reset the
microprocessor IF that's what the problem is. But it is certainly an
easy and inexpensive thing to try.

Model SD-K700. I normally push the power (or any other button) to boot this
thing. Today nothing at all happened. I finally unplugged it for a few
seconds and everything is now back to normal. I believe I had a brief power
outage a few days ago...hadn't used it since then.

In the opinion of the group, is this a sign of impending doom (which
requires immediate attention), or should I continue to use the machine as
normal? I seem to remember something like this happening to it a few months
ago.
