What color(s) flash when you plug it back in and how many flashes ( I know you said 2, but double check it )

That's a color combo I can't find any info on for you
It's not even close to any of the error code combos
Have you tried leaving it unplugged for a couple of mins ?
You may have to contact Ecotech
I wonder if you got a power surge ...

Hope it works out for you
I suspect, without more info, you may have suffered a power spike/surge
If that's the case, you may consider keeping your more sensitive items on surge suppressors
I keep all my sensitive fish electronics plugged into suppressors
It does cause me some 'faults' sometimes, but it's worth the headache
Again, I hope your issue is a simple one
Looking forward to hearing your results

are you right in Devon or in the farmland outside of it?
right in is fed from the substation and is pretty good, but some of the farmland really close is fed from farther away, and with all that oilfield out there there is alot of problems in lightning season.

I'm right in Devon. My radion is fine kept program and alljust the time was out to lunch
I have a monster surge protector. Cost me almost as much as mp10 lol
I called fortis to ask about outage and they were unaware of any. Within 30 min of calling power was restored

Have you tried to reset it nick? I had to do that once just to get a used one I bought to start listening. Worth a shot, check on you tube for instructions

I'll try that. Thanks Jason
Ecotech says they don't know that code. So if a reset doesn't work off to the shop with it

Well ordered a new motherboard. System fried. I'm glad that these are repairable
