jauja,

If it happens again, I would first see if there is a firmware update to correct the problem on the website of the country of origin.

If that doesn't corret the issue, I would call the service center and see if you can get your unit repaired.

Keep me posted.

ujauja,

Your best bet at this point is to have the unit serivced. If there's no firmware (I checked), then that's all I can do from this end.
