My 500's screen was dark after booting it up this morning. Not like the light had failed but like all pixels were being told to be dark. Is this a sign of impending doom? When I rebooted it was fine and there is no error listed in the event log. I regret I didn't check to see if it was functional in that state.

I've seen this once before on boot-up. After about 5-10secs it went back to the format screen and was fine for the rest of the day/night, no re-boots needed.

Probably just another CP-500 software problem..
