Six months ago I pulled my 575 out of storage, updated it, and all was good. It has been plugged in but off for two months until I started it up tonight (on a voltage regulator).
Here's the sequence: power button -> chime -> scsi spin up/access -> screen power on -> then it would pause, boot chime again, and boot normally.
It's functional save for two strange examples: on one boot, the PSU fan didn't start and while naming a folder, the keyboard and mouse stopped responding until the 'i' character started continuously appearing in the folder naming field, even after I unplugged the keyboard.
I reseated the board. Still have a double chime but so far, no more usability issues. I'm not sure how to interpret this double start situation: PSU cap?
