There is something seriously wrong with it. Typical standby is 10-25ma.
500ma is typical 'ON' power consumption (with a modern TFT screen), muted.
If yours really draws 500ma, that's 6amps after being parked overnight or the equivalent of running with your headlights on for nearly an hour. A new unit would be a good eco mod.
