[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 779818, member: 325666"] Hmm .. From the sound of it ...it looks like a faulty hard drive .. Have you tried replacing the hard drive with a known good one and formatting that ? Other possibilities are firmware issues ... You could perform a backup to usb of ALL internals ..firmware and channel list included to a usb pen ..as a backup .. Then grabbing a new firmware ...writing it to a second usb pen ..and performing a new firmware flash install .. Please make sure of your backup first ..as you may need this to go back if it fails .. Another possibility is the failure of the sata interface chip/hardware ....in which case its not going to be an easy repair .. Parts/chips from the far east are notoriously difficult to obtain ...and tricky to replace ...particularly as dedicated sodering equipment is needed ..and service info ..schematics etc ...are NEVER made available these days.. But first ..the easiest and most likely ..is hard drive failure ..and this should be eliminated first .. Also ..the leads connecting the hard drive can be suspect ..and you should be able to borrow a sata data lead from a pc to eliminate this .. They are the same and are standard ..though longer.. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
