      System flush

      Oh OK thanks. Initial reports seem to suggest that the problem persists, ie the cycling upon start up, then working after it goes into standby. Therefore all the assumptions about capacitors appear correct , not that there was any doubt in any of your minds!! I've decided to stop using it...

      System flush

      Hello again. I've finally got round to resetting everything via RMA. Original FW installed and system flush performed. It's currently scanning for channels. One final question. Web-if just says 'unit in RMA mode'. Can I leave it like that and never use web-if again, or would I need to use...

      System flush

      Strange that it never crashed before though? Since I removed the stuff from web-if it's happened nightly. Or again just coincidence and signs of a rapidly failing unit? And the fact that crashes are happening during the night after set recordings occur is a weird one, through my naive eyes anyway.

      System flush

      Interestingly (to me anyway) the unit has been frozen for the last three mornings, twice with red ring, once with blue. Upon power off/on it has come to life straight away and still hasn't missed any recordings. This is a weird development indeed! Roll on Monday when I get to do the big reset!

      System flush

      OK thanks, so I've got to USB the standard firmware, then USB the system flush immediately after? should I use the press standby in between each one as you're usually instructed to do, or just quickly replace the USB with the next upgrade? I hope you understand what I mean?

      oddly it's turned on perfectly tonight on our return from the pub! it's almost as if it knows it's on it's last hurrah!

      System flush

      Just to be clear, when I attempt this I'll use the RMA option on web-if, before reinstalling the original humax FW as supplied by Black Hole? What about removing web-if itself, as I'm sure someone mentioned that this could be a trigger for my unit's ills? Is this necessary?

      System flush

      Yes thanks, I've downloaded it, renamed and copied it on to a USB stick. All ready to go when I get the time. BTW this morning the unit had the red ring displayed and was frozen. Did power off/on and it worked immediately. Checked the recordings; all there, the last one beginning at 0422 this...

      Thanks, I've downloaded yours from dropbox. It didn't ask me to sign up for anything either.

      System flush

      Thank you to both Martin and black hole for the firmware, and to all others for your input. It'll be Monday before I get the chance to test these. Is there any preference to which original FW I use? Regarding the capacitor suggestions, why would it only work intermittently, are they not just...

      System flush

      I've browsed it, but I've been using the system for pushing 15 years probably, although poorly!

      System flush

      The unit seems to have regressed now, it's just looping again and again through start system, with the occasional green flash. Previously it would try four or five times, make a little hard drive noise and go into standby. Then I'd power on and after a couple more cycles it would work normally...

      System flush

      As black hole (almost) said, why is the unit crashing with the latest CF but not when it was removed (albeit incorrectly), or was this just coincidence?
    14. B

      System flush

      So there is no point in me sourcing a copy of the original humax FW? black hole seemed to think I should try it to rule out the unit being at fault. I hadn't realised the web-if would affect things? Can I remove web-if, and the unit will carry merrily along without all the benefits of web-if...

      System flush

      When you don't know the correct terminology it's very difficult, hence my constant apologies. I'm a nurse, not a techie, I'm sure you'd struggle to use the correct terms in my world. Yes I used the system flush, it seemed to be the only way I found to get the unit to function initially after...

      System flush

      I constantly apologise for my lack of knowledge on these machines and vagaries of this forum. I really am trying my best to detail all that I've done in an attempt to resolve this issue. There, I've worked out how to quote at least!

      System flush

      I apologise once again for my faux pas. Also for my inability to use the quotes that you all seem to have mastered so well! I was merely reporting everything that I had noticed from my recent activities. From what i remember the web-if seemed to populate itself when i first loaded it (sorry) up...

      System flush

      Oh OK, but it made it work correctly, apparently? How do I install the standard firmware, as the link on the firmware downloads page is dead?? Do you think I should still try this? My web-if package management list now contains nothing except web-if.

      I'll do system flush and await further instructions.
