Excellent post Meanballer, while I personally haven't had this problem, I'll keep your solution/report in mind if something like this happens to me. Hopefully Sony will address the "power drain" issue for when the unit is turned off; realistically, it shouldn't draw any power while switched off; i.e., should just write the state data to non-volatile RAM and drop out. It would be nice if there was some type of switch they could implement that could break the contacts on the battery for long storage periods (not that mine will ever see this type of inactivity, I hope).

Thanks again, good to see you here (I'm still a quite the n00b myself)!
