Receptor Qu4ttro won't boot

Hello!
I bought a Qu4ttro back in 2015, and it won't boot as of nearly two weeks ago. Presently, the monitor I use stops at the splash screen for Muse Research and gives me a terminal, root@Receptor. The display on the unit itself says Problem Found (12), with a prompt to press a button for the support tool. I figure the terminal is just that, but don't know how to proceed.
A few days ago, I managed to run the diagnostics test, and it returned three errors: 30, 15, and 12. I also saw, Warning: 30, while running this test. I suspect that they're related? And before I forget! The display on the unit told me that a communication link could not be established.
It took a while to get to the terminal. Before that, the machine would shut off anywhere from two seconds to one minute after pressing the power button, and then attempt to reboot. The cycle was endless, until I held the power button for three seconds.
I hope someone is still out there! I could use some help. Thank you so much any time you give.

I’m running around right now so I’ll have to check later, but somewhere in this forum I posted ALL of the codes and what they mean.
Just short of digging that up I’d just ask you you bought it with the Presonus combo?

I'll do that, tomorrow, Andy. Also, since I have the terminal, I was able to establish an internet connection and run "yum update"--without success. Everything is ported to Muse Research, and, well, alas....
Class is getting ready to begin, though, so once again, 'til tomorrow.

So sorry il lupo. I am in the middle of a move just before I hop a plane for the weekend. Life is slightly in disarray. I don’t have time (or the access to my hard drive with reference material) til end of next week.
I can suggest that, sometimes, even a hiccup in the shutting down or startup of the Receptor will make it difficult for the VSL1818 to be recognized and will require these instructions if you can open the F12 set.
“ The problem you are experiencing is when a receptor is turned off improperly. This generally doesn't happen but in case it does I suggest saving this e-mail. The instructions are as follows.
Type the following (watch for capitalization):
rdm-set-session.sh Musician rm-host
(Press enter key)
rdm.sh
(Enter key again)
Best,
Nick”

To add this would be entered after you see a box on the opening screen saying:

Thank you! Right now, it just cycles on and off in an attempt to boot. I can't get back to the terminal. When I do, I'll type as per your instructions. Thank you for the terminal tip, too. You needn't worry. I run Xubuntu, and my terminal opens up on boot. Since the Receptor terminal is already root, I just have to remind myself not to write, "sudo update."
