Query: Helios good ... when alive

I've had two units. While they worked, they gave a great upconverted picture. The problem is that they both died within 48 hrs. Hooked up carefully into surge protectors, voltage right, watch movies, looked great at 1080i over component out, but next time ... dead after sitting for a while in standard off position.Solutions? You may have to switch off both top and rear off switches (possibly unplug the unit every time it's off?), and, despite owner's manual implications, connect only one output source at a time (I had component and RGB hooked up at the same time). That's all I can come up with. Cheaply made Chinese junk as far as I can see. Since this is one of the only component upconverters on the market, this was very disappointing.
