You managed to get 2 with the same fault, that would suggest you were the problem and not the console.

The HDD light was flashing amber

Adjust the SCART or HDMI, wiggle it a bit. Mine did this earlier, I was scared for a sec, I thought I had the shit reliability of a 360 all over again 
Luckily not though

Mine does this when i swap tv's, hold down the on button for 5 sec's and wait for the beeps. it resets it.
it might be set up with HDMI, when your using scart.
