This morning one HR24 appeared dead. Would not power on via the remote

Front panel was completely dark, not even power indicator illuminated.

A RBR seems to have fixed the problem, but not 100% sure.

I'm curious if anyone else has seen the same on an HR24. My units are only a couple months old, or shall I say, since I put them in service.

I found this thread from 2010 which seems similar.

If it happens again give it a good few minutes before rebooting. There was a bug a while ago that would cause the DVR to take a while to turn "on."
Not sure that was a bug; it may have been by design.

But yes, I have seen "undead" DVRs that finally began to show signs of life only some 5 minutes after being plugged back in, after being pronounced and having the sheet pulled up over them.

Zombies are in right now.

Was it a 24-500 by chance?

Just checked, it's a 24-100

I'm thinking maybe it's related to the 4 hour power save, so I disabled that.

Yup, I'll agree with that. What you've described has happened to me a couple times and, since I shut off the Power Saver on all my HRs, it hasn't happened again. Seems as if once the power is shut off (however that works), the HRs want to keep sleeping....:lol:
