Well, My colorstation 25MHz had the same problem a few months back. 
Took it in for service, result: dead power supply. A few days ago
same problem (would not start). Took the battery off for a few minutes
and put it back. It works!!  Same exact behaviour (starting from network
because of the booting parameters).
