The Seagate drive appeared to fail, worked sometimes and not others, now gone completely. Replaced it with a WD 1Tb drive. Are they directly interchangeable? Neither drive, Seagate or WD seems to spin up.

Are you aware that there is a known problem with the motherboard in this box which can cause it to lose connectivity with the hard drive?

No I was not aware of this, thank you. Is it a case of transferring the box to the dustbin?

There is a company that offers a fixed price repair for this problem.

Feed back from those who have used it is good. Existing recordings were retained.
