HDR FOX T2 stops seeing the hard drive
I've (just) tried swapping-in a new hard drive. Still the same symptom. And the voltage on both the 12v and 5v supplies to the HD disappear when the fault manifests, so I reckon it isn't the HD. So to summarise: Replace PSU board - no change Replace HD - no change So whilst there might be...- ABMorley

HDR FOX T2 stops seeing the hard drive
Here's how I got on. 020 8326 6000 was no use, even trying HarveyB's suggestion. They could send me a new board for £130. I wasn't at all sure they understood what I wanted. But 08446698800 was the right number. For £20, inc VAT, P&P they sent me a new PSU board. That's excellent - and...- ABMorley

HDR FOX T2 stops seeing the hard drive
MontysEvilTwin was nearly right - around £150 to repair or £130 to exchange. So the graded stock at £140 is something of a no-brainer and I'll swap the hard drive. Still, I might try calling them for a new PSU board anyway. My mum could do with a PVR.... Thanks all who offered advice. Case...- ABMorley

HDR FOX T2 stops seeing the hard drive
Given I could have a graded one for £140 - http://www1.humaxdirect.co.uk/Direct/prod/e4cdfbf3-14c2-4f8f-ac60-b08241aeacef - I can't see myself paying £110. Yes, it'd be nice to be able to get spares. Hmmm. Wonder if eSpares (http://www.espares.co.uk/) would be interested in getting into...- ABMorley

HDR FOX T2 stops seeing the hard drive
Firstly, Humax have graded (ie ex-demo or repaired) HDR FOX-T2s. Actually I've only just seen they've got both the 500Gb and 1Tb ones. Worth stocking up on. I've ordered one - unfortunately the 500Gb one because I hadn't spotted the 1Tb one. Hard drive swap planned. Anyway, time for an...- ABMorley

HDR FOX T2 stops seeing the hard drive
They say that a watched kettle never boils. Well, a telnetted-into-hummy's drive never reappears. But it has at last. af123's suggestion followed: Let's compare before and after smart data: Before: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE...- ABMorley

Continued: Next check the SMART results. Nothing untoward there. Trigger a long SMART test. Nothing untoward there either.

HDR FOX T2 stops seeing the hard drive
I'm posting this to the custom firmware forum, although in fact it started happening before I upgraded to custom firmware. We were on the most recent OTA version (I forget 1.02.20 I think - mayeb 28). The box had been operating nicely since it arrived in April 2011. However over the last...- ABMorley
