I have teh very same problem. At first when this problem started, I could
unplug the unit and let it "rest" for a few minutes and then it would be
OK for a few days. Now nothing will fix it. I get no power-up and it
just says "Auto" in the desplay. It would not even eject last time I
tried it. I had to physically stand the unit on end and shake it to get
the tape out. Did you ever find and answer?
