I've been experiencing problems that appear to have come on rather suddenly.
(relating to the HDR-T2.. in case you think I'm going to get rather personal!)
Symptoms are:
Obviously, the hardware reset is necessary as the box is unresponsive to the remote.
What I've tried:

(can't see a good way to format the above, sorry)
The old_age and pre-fail concern me a bit.. the box is 2.5years old with pretty much daily use.
I'm hoping someone can come along and be fairly certain of a HDD failure - replacing this would be preferable to buying a new box. Is this likely?
Or, is there anything else I can check? I'm reluctant to do a factory reset right away, though could be the next thing on my list when I have some more free time.

Symptoms are:
- Playback of recorded programmes: Humax crashes, reboots (says CRASHING on front display, or similar). This occurs at a random time after power on, but then seems to happen frequently after that. This has not happened the last couple of days, but has been replaced with:
- Playback of recorded programmes: Audio and video freeze, requiring hardware power reset - wife said 8 times during Holby, but no specific time interval.
- Live television hangs - picture freezes, but audio continues, requires hardware power reset.
- Playback of mp4 video from external drive - this also froze once too, requires hardware power reset.
Obviously, the hardware reset is necessary as the box is unresponsive to the remote.
What I've tried:
- Disconnected network, disabled sharing etc.
- Upgraded the CFW to the latest supported version (i'm on 3.03).
- Run the fix-disk from the telnet facility (or is it disk-fix?) - short test completed, no error.
- Checked internet for similar symptoms.
