Ion not booting

Hi All,

So I have just done a panto here in London on my Ion and all went except for the morning I arrived at the venue hit the power button on the front of the Ion and it would not boot up and was making a very disturbing beeping noise.

So after a few more goes it still wouldn't boot. By now a mild panic is starting to kick in!!!

I then realise that someone had moved the intercom headset so it was resting on the external keyboard. As soon as I took it off it booted no problem.

Is there any way of disabling the external keyboard until the shell has booted?

I know its not going to be a major priority but when you getting close to show time and the desk isn't booting anything that can be done to avoid this situation will stop me ageing a decade in 10 mins.

Overall I'm very happy with the Ion and love having the wireless Client!!!

Tim

    I'm having a number of increasing occurrences of my Ion not booting up on the first try ... or the second ..

    this morning it took me 6 attempts to boot up . .

    that included turning off the power ..

    removing the USB devices (mouse and keyboard). . . 

    unplugging the power ..

    pushing and holding the power button ..

    swearing at it . .

    .talking nice to it . ..

    planning how I was going to rewrite the entire show before tonight's tech . .

     

    I had this same issues two summers ago and sent the console in for a new USB card . . . is there something that I am doing to burn through USB cards at this pace? .. what can I do (besides swear at  and sweat talk the console on a regular basis) . . .

    I'm afraid to turn it off until after the run is over . . .
