i havent used the tascam 2488 in a while but it was stored in a warm dry place . now it wont boot up . what do i do and will the memory be lost.

Same problem. Checked the cables, over and over again. Power is not the problem. It turns on, but fails to boot. I read somewhere that formatting the HDD may help. But what format (NTSF, FAT32, other?) should I use? Where can I get this info?

Thanks.

Actually - I tried formatting with seagate's own OS - as suggested elsewhere in the web. To no avail. Cables, power, etc. are functioning.

I have the same problem.

I am in the exact same situation. I got the 2488 out after properly storing it for a few months and received the same message. I never had any problems with it before.
