A recent post where a user achieved different results between a "Power on" boot and Restart, raised the question should there be any difference between the two??
Apart from obviously removing power on the switch off, the Nand flash memory should retain all (?) information and therefore I couldn't see why there should be any difference.
Perhaps the experts amongst you, could either confirm or explain the errors in my logic! ... or is the guy just experiencing hardware issues on his VU+ ?
