Hi, I wonder if anyone is well informed on the wi-fi modules and antennae for the FVP 4000/5000T and HDR 1000/1100S recorders.
I have an FVP 5000T which has a wi-fi problem. Setting up from factory defaults, it skips the wi-fi setup procedure and if I try to do it manually the screen message says the wi-fi network is not available, although it works with my Humax Aura and other devices (even the car outside 20 feet away through thick brick walls). Re-loading the software from a usb stick made no difference.
I suspect the antennae boards or the wi-fi module they're connected to. Does anyone know if these are common to FVP 4000/5000T and HDR 1000/1100S? Could be a cheap 1000S with the hard drive problem will donate parts if they're common.
PS I looked in my FVP500T and an HDR 1100s; the wi-fi modules and antennae look different. The HDR 1100s looks like the wi-fi board will unplug from the mainboard, the FVP5000T looks like it won't although I didn't apply much force. Any comments?
