I am FREAKING OUT!! My system won't turn on anymore! It doesn't even power on to standby. What could have gone wrong? Only used it a handful of times

I've similar issues and I've contacted Pioneer but they say there isn't any sw upgrade to fix these annoying start-up failures

Mine powers on but won't play my iPod anymore and that only worked a couple of times as well. Major let down

I think you have Quick Start Mode on. Set it to off and this will not happened again.

Same here. Unplugging for a night used to work. Now I've waited a full day after plugging back up and no luck. Seems like mines is now dead :(. No reset button or anything on this box

This happened to me once, too. It'll come back. I unplugged mine for a while, then tried again (like, the next day) and it was fine. It still occasionally gets stuck in limbo, but it usually only takes a few minutes without power, then plugging it back in.Also, I've noticed it does this less often if I take out the Bluetooth thingy in back. There's a little cover you can remove on the back with a little USB Bluetooth receiver in it. It's tricky to get your fingers in there, but once I pulled this out, my unit started working more reliably.

Unplug the power adapter from unit, leave it unplugged for about 5 mins and plug it back in. This procedure has worked for me

I had the same problem--the shredder stopped working, and the power light wouldn't come on. I saw Ed Barrington's answer about the safety tab inside the basket. My tab was still there, but when I *removed the plastic bag* that I was using to line the shredder, the machine came on and started working again. Thanks, Ed!

After the system failed noted that the transformer was fried. Bought a new one (expensive). Didn't help and appeared that the motherboard was also damaged. Also very expensive. In theory, the system is sexy .. in reality it is expensive and undependable. We abandoned the idea before it sucked up more money ... the cell was replaced, the transformer was replace, the motherboard needed replaced .. about all that was worth keeping was the metal box that held the board & transformer. I wouldn't recommend the system to any one I know.

Mine has booted fine since purchase. Sounds like a power supply problem. Can you check to see if you have a voltage or on/off switch to the power pack on the rear of the pc and/or try a new power cord or surge protector? I don't know the warranty period, but it should be easily determined by looking at your amazon order history and reviewing the write up for this particular purchase.

I'm also in the same problem. Anyone have A home repair solution? Prior to this I had the power on problem which was solved by upgrading some blown capacitors.

Are you kidding?IF IT IS CORDED,PLUG IT IN!!!If it doesn't come on,Try the reset button!!!If it still doesn't come on then there is no power at the outlet!

I would call the manufacturer. It sounds like something is wrong with the unit. Mine worked immediately with no issues, and I did NOT charge it before use....just plugged it right in and it worked. Sorry!!

Unfortunately you have not provided enough info on your problem. In general, if it is a hardware problem, like it no longer turns on, it is not worth spending my on repairing these gadgets as it would be more money fixing them than buying a new one. If it is a configuration problem, then you can download user manual from the web or if you have backed up your unit, then reload your old configuration.

My unit did appear to stop functioning at one point. I just fully unplugged for a few days and re-plug in and all was good. Maybe try unplugging for a few hours. I just forgot about it after unplugging.

well, it happened to me about 3 months ago. Totally bricked and useless. I looked it up here and all over the net... and it's just a bad unit and everybody's broke. I gave up and got my 20 year old Onyko unit out of the garage. Doesn't do much and there are limitations, but it sounds better. I don't have the $$ to fix it. Such a drag. At least it's not a SONY it might have broken sooner! :-)

My 305 has shut down yesterday and now will not turn on. I have tried just about every reset combination refernced here and othe rplaces to no avail. I guess I should wait a couple days for the battery to discharge. I don't understand this. My unit does power up if I connect it to my computer via the USB port. Has anyone with the power up issue seen this?

That was one of my concerns too. I just unplug it. There is no indication in the book. I've tried holding down the reset button. Doesn't work.
