I unplugged it, let it sit for a while, started back up and it stuck on the condition screen. I let it sit and it came back to life. I had to reset the command as described here: https://signs101.com/threads/graphtec-ce5000-hp-gl-1-error.48090/ but it works now. Go Figure.

I've had this same issue on both my previous Roland and Vinyl Express cutters where it gets stuck on boot and that was usually a sign the main boards we going out. Depending on how long its been happening power cycling will fix it, but eventually it won't go past boot. Both mine died within a few weeks of each other maybe a a month after they started showing bootup issues.
I went with a Summa D60R over a Graphtec CE6000-60 reasoning being is the fact I see so many graphtec replacements main boards on ebay that it concerned me about their long term reliability. Summa I barely see any replacement parts except for consumables and I know folks who've had their Summa's from the early 2000's still running till this day. Only regret is I wish I went with the D70 as I've been having more prints that are just at the 24" mark and the extra few inches would save me from having to much waste when I can't get the images to fit side by side.

How old we
How old were your machines when they started the problem?

Both my express and roland were well around 8 - 10 years old, but they were run in temp controlled environment with minimal dust. Life of the machines depends a lot on environment they're used in. Constant hot and cold cycles are bad on the mainboard. I did have to reflow the solder joints on the vinyl Express once to fix an intermittent no power issues a few years back and it ran fine for 4 years after that.
I was originally going to get a ce6000-60 but seeing so many mainboards for sale on ebay concerned me vs summa which you don't see very many. I am thinking about getting it now and getting rid of my uscutter and just run a summa and graphtec. The graphtec would.be used more for cutting popout decals which it does better than the summa with the dual blade positions.
