My HDR makes a click shortly after it boots up and when shutting down. I thought it may just be the head coming out and going into its park position, but sometimes it will start clicking quite a bit if I FFWD too much, not the normal head noise, but a distinct and quite loud clicking. occasionally the box will lock up and the only way to get it back is by pulling the plug.
Since I got the FVP-4000T for downstairs the HDR has been in a cupboard, but I want to start using it again in the bedroom to replace my Toppy and get HD. I had to put Toppy back in the bedroom as the noise of the HDR starting up and stopping to check for software updates used to wake my other half every day, so I wasn't too popular. The actual drive in normal operation play/head movement etc. is really quiet.
Is the drive on the way out? I have had the Seagate ST1000VM002 Pipeline 1TB in my Amazon Wish List for months but haven't felt the need to but it yet as the drive still seems to be plodding on.
What I don't want to do is buy the drive and still have the same clicking. I don't remember it doing this when I first got it, but it did used to make the clicking if I FFWD too much.
I updated the custom firmware today to HDR_FOX_T2_1.03.12_mod_3.10 and installed disable-ota which I am hoping will stop the early morning boot ups.
I have run Disk Diagnosis and as far as I can see its OK. I am not technical enough to know what it all means, but it says it passes.
Thanks.
