since the S-4000 units are almost 5 years old, there have been some complaints of "Non-Booting" units posted in
German support forum.
Mostly the nonbooting effect is caused by the non-functional "Zero-Watt-circuit" relais.(Exhausted rechargeable battery)
The firewire "jumpstart" was recommended by the administrator to overcome the lack of voltage for the mains-relais.
I never had to use the jumpstart, but as you experienced it's functioning
To forever switch off the Zero-Watt-Standby and prevent further non-booting some adjustments have to be done in MediaManager:
MediaManager-->System(Settings)-->Settings-->(8) Device
Brightness 1-->100%
Brightness 2 during standby-->0%
Power saving mode(7)-->Never
