Isn't that issue supposed to be fixed with one of latest FWs. B5 I think.
From G00-B5 fixed issues...

For all your firmware & service manual needs please visit us at:

its B6 now or 6B. there is a procerdure to reset the storage bd reqiures a code and you need to run the 8 series tool. it will wipe all meters. to tewst if its this bd take it out and see if you can upload firmware . the controller wont load since its on this bd
when i've had this issue i've simply reloaded or updated the firmware and thats fixed it.
I did have one recently which this did not work and had to initialize the storage board with the secret code (not allowed to share) once the firmware was loaded again it was fine.
i series can also do this because of the silly permanent power thing. I have seen brand new machines out the box not start because of having the pretend power siwtch at the front already in the on position when the mains power is supplied. This obviously could be a problem on machines in areas with bad power.
Another thing that can stop an i series booting is removing optional accessories like an ADF or fax kit without turning the function off in service mode before removal. Have seen this first hand.
This is a known problem, I have had so many!
If you update with firmware prior to G00-B5 you could solve it by replacing the STRB but the problem could recur.
I had this problem on a brand new C300i, I also changed 2 STRB and 1 CPUB as well as continuously updating the firmware. Just because even Konica Minolta didn't know what was happening and they backed me up under warranty.
These card changes were necessary because when I updated, NG appeared on the firmware page. If NG does not appear in your case, no elettronic board replacement will be necessary. You just need to upgrade to G00-B5/B6.
In the end I solved it with G00-B5 but the printer completely reset and reported "change of cards detected" even if these cards have not been replaced anymore. So I advise you to come prepared with Movie Data, PDF/a font etc.
My case is , update the firmware process cannot be performed.
Only hold on 25% boot up screen with black dot on up left corner.
