It looks like the disk has gone read-only and I'll need some hand-holding
I'll hazard a guess at what was happening. Both the Vol +/- and the Prog +/- capacitive sense pads on the PCB have a screw between them which relies on the solder resist to stop them shorting together the pads on either side. Spotted this when I pulled the VFD filter off and put fibre washers on...- everthewatcher

Electricity blues... and greens, and reds...
Not the clear 'decorative' ones but the frosted ones which are fairly new. The substrate the LED dies are mounted on is glass so not that fragile. The mainstream manufacturers, e.g. Philips, are now doing them. But even then there are different levels of quality - see this YT video from Big Clive.- everthewatcher

So it was just coincidence then. FWIW the HDR in question here was the later V2/RE.- everthewatcher

I can't see why but it's some coincidence. It's not proof though - I'll have to find time and enthusiasm to try it again for that.- everthewatcher

It looks like the disk has gone read-only and I'll need some hand-holding
Nope. I swapped the front panel PCB, put the HDR back where it lives and powered it up. All seemed OK so I left it on Came back to it around 6:45pm to find it hadn't recorded the 6pm BBC News The red ring was on as expected as it was scheduled to record the BBC local news Initial reaction was...- everthewatcher

It looks like the disk has gone read-only and I'll need some hand-holding
I'm struggling too. I've not looked to see if the ATmega164 is handling the fluorescent display drive but if it's not it does seem to be a bit underused just dealing with the IR remote, the LED drive and the touchpads. I've done IR decoding with an ATtiny2313 that also drove a 2x16 line LCD...- everthewatcher

Remote control not working
You took the bait. I'd add that cells side-by-side will (usually) have them in opposing directions but not when in-line.- everthewatcher

Remote control not working
I've got a black RT-531B in the things-to-eBay box, used but no wear on the keys and minimal handling polish. Just tested it and all keys work perfectly. [Edit] Have you got the batteries/cells in the right way round? I've done that myself.- everthewatcher

Many thanks once again to those responsible for the tools that let me sort this out. I'm still wondering what happened here - it's too much of a coincidence for my liking.- everthewatcher

Of course fixweb was staring me in the face from the Telnet menu and did the trick. Many thanks BH. Usually I'd have regarded this a challenge but I'm not in that kind of state of mind ATM. [Edit] Ran fix-flash-packages just in case.- everthewatcher

It looks like the disk has gone read-only and I'll need some hand-holding
OK, Fixdisk has done it's stuff and found loads of errors, some may have been down to my having to power-cycle it as it was reluctant to power down last night. I've not tried a recording yet. It's recording and deleting OK. The webif is still giving '500 Internal Server Error' - how do I go...- everthewatcher

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
