Often pulling the power cord out leaving it 30 seconds fixes things on electrical devices.

Anyone know why the 30 seconds is neccesary?

I would have thoughg that it would work immediately after a loss of power; maybe the V6 (& other devices) retain a little power and carry on working for a very short time after power disconnection??

It just gives the power chance to go from the electronics.

There's often some "housekeeping" that is done after the plug is pulled using the residual power stored in the capacitors.

A hard reset like this re-initialises memory allocation. Poor coding results in slow memory leaks that eventually use up the resource. Think of a PC slowly loosing memory. It would get progessively slower and more hesitant.

Glad it worked, Allen! It's exactly the same as a computer when it plays up. Very rarely has that not worked for me.
