Flashing LED

[GJM]

Hi
I woke this morning to my Zen MkIII is a strange state, The front LED was flashing. Tried to use the button to power-down without response.

Had to hard down by removing power cable. Took 2 attempts to restore power and have the Zen re-boot effectively.

Anybody know what could have caused the flash state and anything I need to do?

It sounds like the system was in loop booting up/down again, hence giving the LED behaviour of flashing. I am not sure what would cause this (perhaps a small surge that disrupted the PSU), but a power disconnection to allow draining of the caps would indeed be the suggested solution for this which it sounds like you did. If this repeats itself or starts occurring more regularly, please let us know.
