Help! Receiver problems...

Ok, my friend bought a Pioneer receiver about 6 months ago...it's the VSX-814...I think....something around that model number. Anyway, he is telling me that out of nowhere the unit does not turn on. The standby/on switch blinks blue LED all the time. Usually the blue LED comes on when the unit is running and orange LED for standby. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix the problem? Has anyone had this happen ? He does not have a warranty for the item. I told him to try and factory reset the machine, which he tried....nothing. He also checked the two fuses inside...both in mint condition.

Any thoughts?
