It looks like the disk has gone read-only and I'll need some hand-holding
The DTR was the source of the front panel PCB for an HDR with CF which now has problems, so this is the correct section. Fortunately Telnet still works and Fixdisk is now doing its stuff.- everthewatcher

It looks like the disk has gone read-only and I'll need some hand-holding
Following on from this message it looks like I may now have a read-only hard disk. I've swapped the front panel PCB back just in case there was some coding on the DTR one that caused the issue but it remains. Symptoms are: Files on the disk can be played A recording appears to be being made but...- everthewatcher

RM-F04 remote not working
Which turned out to be a bad move. When I put it back together it it looks like the HDD has gone read-only- I'll start a new thread.- everthewatcher

RM-F04 remote not working
Same device but double the memory across the board. Didn't note which one I read it off but both PCBs were '12 production within a couple of months. [Edit] It's a '164 on both. That's what I suggested back in my #17.- everthewatcher

RM-F04 remote not working
I'm pretty certain the wrong tree is being barked up here. I've used many of these devices with a 100R/10u combination on the supply with no problems even in one application where an undocumented property of the IR Rx was being used. This thread has prompted me to pull the DTR-T1000 out of the...- everthewatcher

Electricity blues... and greens, and reds...
That could be the problem. I've had LED lamps in all the on-all-evening GLS lights since Spring 2016, mostly TCP-branded LEDs with Nichia LEDs. I've had no failures but I've had two >15W B&Q Diall OB ones drop enough in output after a couple of years for them to be replaced despite being...- everthewatcher

Electricity blues... and greens, and reds...
Don't know where the 5V is from. The forward voltage of a blue or white LED is 3V or so and in 12V lamps will usually be wired in strings of two or three LEDs in series. They'll then be current-driven, hopefully using a switching constant-current supply, but in low-power (<2W) ones I've seen...- everthewatcher

Philips do the WarmGlow line of dimmable LEDs that get 'warmer' as they're dimmed.- everthewatcher

RM-F04 remote not working
Coming in late on this, this has the feel of there being another pulsed IR source in the room. I've not read through this entire thread but it would be easy enough to check by testing the HDR in another room.- everthewatcher

No problem with VM as they took the view I was making their job easier. Did have a bit of a problem getting the green conduit from the VM depot though - the jobsworth on the counter wouldn't let me have it although it had all been agreed and organised for me to pick it up. A quick call and a...- everthewatcher

There's no BT/OR cable duct here - the copper line is in armoured under the drive. When I had VM I ran their cable under the porch in 25mm conduit then up and though the garage in 20mm, entering the house just above the first floor at the network cupboard. Two 90° bends, one slow and one a bit...- everthewatcher

Been having a discussion about planning for future FTTP on another forum. Someone who does cabling professionally reckons OE can be pretty inflexible when it comes to how they get it into the house. What was your experience? {Edit] The fibre that is, not how they gain entry.- everthewatcher

How many crashes has your T2 experienced in a year/s?
Just had a run of three crashes. The first two were the usual locked-up machine that had crashed after dealing with the queued auto-decryption etc. after 11pm so hadn't powered down at midnight and no record in crashlog. But the last was one I've not seen before. It looked like the front panel...- everthewatcher

Didn't go wrong when I had VDSL enabled, having been with VM, but the email clearly said there was an appointment for an 'engineer' at my address at 2pm. Odd because it was a customer install so when no one turned up I went after them for a missed appointment. They tried arguing it meant at the...- everthewatcher

My notes say scheduled time was 2pm, the line went dead mid-call at 2:24, I put my line monitor on and it came back at 2:34. So 10 minutes in my case in Jan '16.- everthewatcher

Never had ADSL here - went straight to VDSL due to the 6.5km of line to the exchange - but the ADSL should work up until the line is re-routed through your local VDSL cabinet by an OR tech.
