I'd definitely recommend getting in touch with MOTU about it; if the hardware is freezing when being turned on (even if it's not connected to your computer) then there's something wrong with the hardware, and there really isn't anything you can do to fix it. If it turns on normally when it's not connected to your computer, and freezes when it's plugged in, then perhaps it's your computer or your firewire cable. Otherwise, call up MOTU and see what they have to say.

I could have found it on my own, but I didn't even think to look for it when my buddy's 828 fritzed out. It came back on it's own after a few days, but that might have sped up the process.

I'm sorry I don't have the time to do the search in your place all the time, I'm kind of busy here…
 I only wrote the magic word: reset

Just never thought to look. Didn't occur to me that the 828 could be reset (which is a silly notion, but oh well!)
