If I turn it off, unplug it for a few minutes and plug it back in, it does actually give me a green light, and click, but then it goes back off after a few seconds and stays off.

It would then stay on for about 20 minutes, then it would turn off, and turn back on, stay on for a few more minutes, then shut off, and back on, this time doing it over and over as soon as it comes on until unplugged. It also has a little distortion on the screen just before a reset. Well I decided to check the error buffer per the manual, and it was full of...
