"Either way the power plant shouldn’t be locking up. I assume “lock up” means the control software is crashing and the P20 power has to be cycled to recover?"
That is my take also. You would be surprised how a few new components can fix a troublesome circuit. Most people do not know and engineers do not like to talk about it, but electronic components are a real crap shoot at times. They fail all the time or are defective from the manufacturer. It just isn't high enough of a failure rate to really cause a business serious problems. In today's digital world it is cheaper to just replace an entire circuit board then to troubleshoot to the component. If your P-20 is under warranty,it needs to go to a repair shop. If it is not under warranty, they should send you a new board which will replace almost the entire guts of the P-20 and have you send your old board back for examination. But, I don't run the company!
