RSP 1098 will not go off standby? Frantic!

[rangeles]

Hello All,

I am troubled that after I came home, and come to turn on my 1098 it will not turn on. The blue light is on, but I can not get it to turn on- using both remote 1050 and the front panel button. I tried turning off the main switch on the back and back on again. I noticed a quick flicker on the LCD or TFT display and nothing. I have also checked 8 fuses in side the chassis and none are blown. I hope this is not major!

Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.

Mine's done that twice on me. Everytime it happens I have to power it off in the back, let it sit for about 30 seconds, power it on and power it on with the front button. Once I do that, the remote works and the unit works flawlessly again.

I can't figure out why it happens, but I always notice it when the remote won't control anything on the unit (or it won't cause it to power on).

Other than that, I'd unplug the power from it, let it sit like 5 - 15 minutes and then plug it back in and try powering it on. That should give it enough time to let all the remaining flee power dissipate from the unit.

Russ, if Dan's rear panel reset procedure works, check if your units firmware is upto date, and/or perform a factory reset.

First off, I would like to thank everyone that have replied!

I have recently unplugged every input device off the unit and same situation. Now, thinking back on what I did. I did try to leaving it off for an hour and still the same.

The symptom is like when you have the progamming dip switches on the "ON" position. It disables the front power botton. I have recently upgraded the Firmware and Eprom with no issues. The night before I rebuilt a new data cable RJ45-Serial following and verifying the pinouts from Rotel but never got it to connect. Would this affect the unit from turning on?

Thanks
Russ.

Hello,

Just spoke to Sean from Rotel North America. He says that the unit is in protection mode. That there may be a stuck relay on the power module board. Has any one had their unit in protection mode?

Thanks,
Russ.

Just got my 1098 back from Rotel. It problem reported was some stuck switching relays and they also replaced a few capacitors.

Thanks for everyones help and input

Great! Glad to hear it's back and you can now again enjoy it!

At least it WAS something more than just something simple you could've done yourself ha ha. That would've sucked!
