From what I read above, it sounds as though it occurred while the units were in standby or switched off.Hi thumb5 - no, nothing untoward noticed in advance. I had the unit powered off completely because I was away for a few days. It wouldn't turn on - screen remained blank. To be honest, it's the first device that's ever failed on me, so I'm actually quite relaxed about it. Stastically, I've done pretty well! Will give me a good excuse to hide from wife and rediscover headphone listening from iPad. Not as bad as you may think.
I ask because one of my 200s is emitting a slight but noticeable smell of burning epoxy resin (the "oops, that IC just exploded" smell...). It seems to be working fine at the moment but I must say I'm a bit worried about it.
ATB, Ken
