Onkyo receiver won't turn on any more...

Ok guys and gals, I need some help. I have had my Onkyo 5.1 system (Model HTS670b) for a couple months now, and am generally happy with it. That said, I am having an odd issue that I hope someone can help me with. My receiver is the HT-R420, and when I turn it off, 50% of the time, after left alone for a little while, it won't turn back on using either the system power button or the remote. If I unplug the receiver, and then plug it back it, the system will turn on. What the hell is going on? It never shuts off by itself, which I have heard is a common issue due to heat, but mine is just the opposite, lol. It can't be a faulty wire because it ALWAYS turns on once I unplug and replug the power cord. Help!

Sounds like a bad IC or memory circuit. The logic circuits are probably wedging into an unknown state and pulling the power drains the power keeping that faulty logic in that wedged state.

You implied you only had it a few months. Why not see if the warranty is still good on it?

Yeah, I bought it off Newegg, and they are pretty cool about issues. I just wanted to see beforehand if anyone ever had the same problem, and whether or not there was an easy fix for it.
