      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      P.S. As the steady state for the circuit is for the transistor to be turned off, if you cut the link as a temporary test that should restore the "HDD 12V supply" if the FET is OK as its Gate will no longer be grounded. (Cut the wire link with the power off to avoid shorting anything)

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      (See an earlier post in this thread showing the schematic for this circuit) I think I can see what they have done comparing to my Hummy. When they removed the old cap they have moved the cap up the board and reattached it to the ground plane which is 0 (zero) volts and not where the cap should...

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      Indeed I have looked in the past and have a number installed including as I said SYSMON which is not standard and fix-disk, disable-ota, disable-dso, zeroconf etc etc. However, I probably fall into the category of people who only look in depth to find a solution to a problem they have. (My quote...

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      Ah, OK thanks. It was line 190 - the newer disks do not have this line so perhaps won't get reported? I assumed wrongly it was getting this from smartctl. (i.e. 194 Temperature_Celsius -O---K 33 100 100 000

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      This is sort of linked but let me know if you would prefer a new thread. I am starting to notice things I may have already known but subconsciously ignored. My machines had the faulty 4u7 caps causing one to constantly reboot. This and another machine both had failing hard drives which seem to...

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      Thank you all for the above advice and information. It had never occured to me that the copied file was actually intact with it's encryption (I just had never tried copying an encrypted file and then decrypting it) - I had just assumed it was gibberish. Understand about keeping the 4 files...

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      Initially I was assuming that the Linux I was using was not completely compatible with the Humax disk layout as I was having problems running smartctl, fsck etc but I now think it was because the disk is so messed up. What I did see is that the files are all still there on the My Video partition...

      Start Up Fails When HDD Connected

      Thank you all for your write up on this issue. I have three of these boxes. Box 1. Doing a retune of the machine on reboot it kept cycling as you describe. Unfortunately at this point I had not seen this thread. Being unable to boot the box I removed the HDD and put it in a Linux machine and...

      Firmware ver1.00.27 for PVR9300T

      Time permitting I'll take a closer look at the units to see if I can spot any obvious physical differences / part number changes.

      Firmware ver1.00.27 for PVR9300T

      It is possible no-one will have it but I thought it worth asking the question here in case someone in the past had managed to acquire a copy from Humax and still has it around. I have asked the question of humax support and just noticed I had an email back and the person responding says :-...

      Firmware ver1.00.27 for PVR9300T

      Hi, Does anyone have a copy of firmware v1.00.27 (loader a4.40) that they could let me have a copy of. I stupidly overwrote one of my boxes with ver1.00.26 and now it is not possible to tune any channels on it. I kicked myself round the room a few times and then searched for the right version...

      Upgrading HDD

      Final part of the replacement hard disk story. Seagate have replaced the drive with a "Certified Repaired HDD" - not new - but it does have an almost 2 year warranty until 27-Mar-2016. Same model as the old one - ST1000VM002-1CT162. Have installed it in my spare HDR-FOX T2 - CF disk diagnostics...

      Upgrading HDD

      Update: Continued to have problems with the ST1000VM002 disk. Each time I ran Seatools it found another 100 sectors to repair. 1635430084 to 1635430183 and latest yesterday evening 1341499432 to 1341499435 and 1341582336 to 1341582431 Have decided to bite the bullet and RMA to Seagate...

      Upgrading HDD

      I put the ST31000424CS disk back in before buying my new one and after running for a while it was showing 633 remapped sectors - it had previously been zeroed using seagate tools. Can't remember the count on the ST100VM002 at present - I'll repost when I reattach it but it was in the low teens...

      USB file transfer issue

      That does sound very similar. I just may have not copied such a large batch in the past so perhaps didnt get the problem. Some instances were overnight but others were during the day when there was no standby issued or scheduled on-off but there were scheduled recordings happening. I do now...

      USB file transfer issue

      It is possible some files are corrupt as I am copying them from a dodgy disk (although the remapped sectors should be OK) . However recopying the same files in smaller batches works OK.

      USB file transfer issue

      I have recently had to replace the hard disk in my HDR-FOX T2 and started to transfer files by mounting the old disk in a USB docking port. Initially I selected all the directories/files and selected to copy to the new drive. However, after a long while I noticed that the USB light showed no...

      Upgrading HDD

      More disk woes. On 13th May 2013 I replaced my original 1TB drive (Seagate ST31000424CS) with a 1TB Seagate ST100VM002 because it was starting to "tick" and cause playback pauses. SMART data showed a pending sector count of 1 and an increasing remapped sector count. Machine was purchased on...
