    I have a 1000S box open on the bench, circuit board Rev 1.0
    Capacitors are as follows:
    Through hole:
    C95: 220uF 10V
    C122: 220uF, 16V
    C1732, C1744, C1747: 100uF, 50V
    Surface mount:
    3 x 100uF 16V
    3 x 22uF 16V
    3 x 10uF 50V
    2 x 100uF 25v
    Guess I'll see if I can order up some replacements and warm up the soldering iron, there's not much to lose

    For the record, my HDR-1000s has 3 x 220uF SM caps in it and NOT 22uf. Typo maybe?

    I'm just replacing all caps now so I'll report back if it makes any difference.

    Well I changed all the caps, including the surface mount ones, for good quality low ESR Panasonic ones.

    The box seems to run a little smoother (faster on boot and menus are a bit quicker) but the missing HDD still remains. I'm 100% convinced this is a SW issue now.

    Add me to the list. HDR 1010S magically has no recorded programs. Live pause does not work. Message about USB storage etc.

    The bos was paired, I have removed tha. Now power cycling, I'll update you later.

    Resigned sigh!!!

    Aye, another new member with same fault. Started 23rd March. No HDD or live pause. Emailed Humax customer support last week - no reply as yet.

    This number of complaints has got to be a bigger problem than capacitors etc. It surely requires a firmware update from Humax to resolve this. I'll send off an email too in the hope that the more they receive the more likely a solution.

    Got this email reply today.......

    Thank you for contacting Humax.

    This a problem that we are aware and our development team are currently carrying out an investigation to find out if our software could be causing the problem, this can also be caused by a hardware fault so the investigation is taking longer than we would like.

    At this time the only suggestion I can make is to remove the units connection to the Freesat remote record application(if applicable) and perform a factory reset on your unit.

    You can remove the app from deleting it from your smart phone/tablet.

    I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you.

    Repeating what's already said but this is the reply I had.
    Its all very unsatisfactory really, a problem which they seem unwilling or unable to resolve in which case they should recall instead of continuing to sell units.

    1. What is wrong with the units
    At the moment we are not sure, we are currently investigating, we only know whatever the cause is, the result is the unit does not detect a HDD

    2. When a fix is likely
    We have no set time frame at the moment, we will be releasing an update as soon as possible.

    3. How many people are affected by this
    We do not have an exact figure, it is a large amount of customers using the HDR-1000s, HDR-1010s and HDR-1100s.

    4. Am I going to be notified when a fix is available
    You may receive an on screen display, this will not be confirmed until we know the cause of the problem.


    5. What I’m supposed to do to record programs until then having spent £200 on a unit which I can’t now use and good money on another unit I still can’t use either.
    I'm afraid there will be no way to record until we have resolved the problem, I would suggest returning the unit you have just purchased.

    6. The second unit I tried worked initially but stopped working after a reset

    7. If it’s a software issue can I roll back so I can use the unit.

    At this time we are not sure if it is exact software causing the problem, we have had customers try rolling back but this has made no difference
