Persistent Pixelation on Playback
I thought there was a photo but there is nothing. The existing Fringe power supply gives 12V from the photos, so that is probably what the amp requires. Having looked at the existing system again in the photos, I agree that total replacement is overdue. It was badly installed to start with and...- Owen Smith

Persistent Pixelation on Playback
A quick read and what BH wrote looks fine to me. With no amp in the system or fault on the cabling it will have no effect at all. If there's a fault the 5V may be shorted out, I assume the HDR Fox T2 protects itself from that. If there is another power supply for an amp on the aerial system who...- Owen Smith

How to transfer files from defunct HDR FOX T2 to view on HDR 2000T?
I agree it's less than ideal. The poster's reply to that was they don't understand what we mean by "run stripts on the chromebook". Remember the request for detailed step by step instructions that just work? Meanwhile on the stripts thread there is doubt that it even runs on current linux...- Owen Smith

@jalba is there a repair cafe event near you? Often there are people there that will do soldering for free. We've done the diagnosis, you can print out or download the instructions for what to replace. It might be wise to turn up with a replacement capacitor that you have bought online, but if...- Owen Smith

How to transfer files from defunct HDR FOX T2 to view on HDR 2000T?
So you're no good at soldering then? There's an opportunity to learn here, the box is already dead so what do you have to lose by attempting to fix it? There are still methods for retrieving them. Repairing your HDR Fox T2; transplanting the disc and encryption key into another HDR Fox T2; or...- Owen Smith

That's a thread referring to the original investigation thread, with lots of complexity. The wiki article is a much more straight forward description of how to find the capacitor and replace it which is what @jalba needs if they're going to attempt this.- Owen Smith

How to transfer files from defunct HDR FOX T2 to view on HDR 2000T?
If that is correct (and I have no reason to doubt it) then that means there were two faults on the box. The flash containing the firmware was getting tired and reading unreliably, now fixed. And the capacitor failure. You are unlucky to be hit by both given each seems fairly rare.- Owen Smith

There's a thread on here about which capacitor it is that has failed on the main PCB and needs replacing. @jalba are you any good at soldering? Part of my hidden agenda for the USB stick firmware update was 1) it might actually fix the problem and 2) because the hard disc was removed attempting...- Owen Smith

How to transfer files from defunct HDR FOX T2 to view on HDR 2000T?
Writing such a procedure that is accurate would require replicating what you are trying to do, otherwise mistakes creep in. I suspect no-one here has the time to do that nor a Chromebook with the exact same OS and software on it that you do. What we can do is suggest something, you try it, post...- Owen Smith

I agree. I overlooked that @jalba said in their original post they have a Chromebook and can see all the files.

That can be that the flash contents are getting tired and the software is not reading correctly leading to the box crashing at boot.

Haha! I remember now. The difference is stock HDR Fox T2s can copy SD recordings off onto a USB stick and decrypt them, whereas a flag prevents that for HD recordings unless cleared using Foxy or the auto unprotect package.
