Thanks! Well I kind of got a little curious so I opened it up. I disconnected the IDE cable at both the hard drive and mother board. Powered it back up and it booted up. I inspected the IDE header on the mother board and it looked ok, looked like a few of the pins could use a little more solder, but did not see anything obvious. Anyway since it seems to be booting up as of now I am going to wait and see if the problem comes back. If it does I will touch up the IDE header pins.

So looks like for now my player is back up and running.
