Sorry, dumb question, but I need to ask. The volume control on the left side is also the on/off switch, have you accidentally turned that off?

This is an error message which indicates a specific internal component failure. Escort will have to fix your 8500.

SOURCE: ESCORT PASSPORT 8500 WILL NOT

you might as well check if you can turn on using only the battery. If it wont, then try to push the power button for 8 secs after you remove the battery and power cord. Then reinsert power cord, and turn it on. If it still no good, then call escort because this issue is something to do with the system board inside of it. It does not react to the situation wherein you have plug the working power cord and a working battery.

Program button is stuck and shaking causes settings to change
Yes, you could remove the button and then your settings wouldn't change. Yet this will be difficult to do since the momentary button switch is very tiny and is difficult to desolder. Your best bet is to send your X50 to Escort for repair.

I have a passport excort 8500 X50 that signals maximum Ka and X over and over.
Are you getting any Self Calibration or Service Required error messages? If not, then this means that the basic electronics are good and that the problem is within the antenna. If your X50 is in warranty then Escort will repair the antenna for free. If not, then there will be a service fee ($80). Yet I can all but guarantee you that after Escort fixes the antenna problem then you will never have this problem again.The service fee also includes fully testing and calibrating your X50, and updating its internal computer firmware code to their latest code. So the end result is that your X50 will perform just like a brand new one.

Continuous alert
About the only thing to try with the Escort 8500 and the x50 is to do a full reset. Hold all 3 buttons down while turning the detector on. I believe Escort will still work on it, there will just be a service charge with no warranty.
