It appears that your hard drive may have failed or is not detected...

Oh, I've encountered a similar issue before with a different model. It seems like your Power Panel could possibly be experiencing a corrupted system file or a disk error. Before contacting B&R support, you could try to boot it up in safe mode or use a disk repair utility. If you have a recent backup of your system, now is the right time to use it. Also, conducting periodic checks on the hard drive for any system inconsistencies could help you avoid such problems in the future.

Have you tried performing a hard reset? Sometimes, that can help clear any software issues causing the startup loop. You could also verify if there's a backup control firmware that might be used to boot up the device. Another point to consider is checking for physical hard drive issues - excess heat, unusual noises, etc. If the problem persists, it might be ideal to get in touch with B&R's support team as it could be a more serious hardware concern.

It sounds like you might be dealing with a corrupt boot sector or an issue with the hard drive itself. Have you tried powering it off completely and disconnecting it from any power source for a few minutes before rebooting? Sometimes a hard reset can clear out temporary glitches. If that doesn't work, you might consider checking the hard drive connections or even performing a factory reset if you have access to the recovery options. Good luck!
