Blink'n Power Light on 721

[CBowers]

Hi all;

Last night our 721 restarted it's self at about 2am(I was watching TV at the time). Now all it does is stare back at us with it's power light blinking.

If we remove/reset power, remove/reset smart card, or hold the power button until it resets we see...

• Dish Logo
• Testing System....
• Validating Hard Drive....

After 10 minutes the screen goes blank and the Power Light just keeps on Blinking.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

smells like a hard drive dying, and it can't get past the initial fsck (FileSystem CheCk).

Call Dish....
