Double Asterisk on LCD

A customer recently had their unit fail to boot, and the LCD showed ** while a VGA monitor showed either black or a bluescreen of death.† This was not fixed by moving the SSD from the top slot to the bottom one.† (Note that the new E9200 only has one slot, so we can't even try that on the 9200.)

(Note that the LCD will often briefly show ** at startup before showing "Starting Streambox OS," that's normal.)

The customer got a replacement SSD, but the new SSD had the same problem.†

They unplugged everything, including power, USB, VGA, everything.† They removed the drive from the drive slot and replaced it.† Then they connected power only and started it up, and the unit booted as normal.† Both SSDs were now working.

Strange, but true.† So try that procedure before RMAing any units with ** on the LCD display.
