Hi All
I have a dead HDR-FOX-T2 that I'm happy to post to anyone that wants it.
By dead, I mean that there is no sign of life at all when switched on. The power supply seems to have the right voltages.
Either the motherboard has gone, or part of the power supply, though I think that that is most likely OK.
I bought another one with a faulty disk from eBay, and have made one working one from the two by swapping the disk (and the front panel, as mine was better cosmetically).
So what's on offer here is:
Case, working front panel, working power supply (I think).
No disk, non-working motherboard.
Incidentally, I've discovered that a Raspberry Pi, together with their TV Hat, works well as a DVR, and seems to record without encrypting the streams. I've not tested it much. This may be a way forward for some. I was up and running for < £20 or thereabouts.
All the best
Steve
