Hi all,
I'm having the same problem. I have replaced the hard drive and that didn't work. I have read on other posts that it could be due to a faulty resistor.
Does anyone know which resistor causes the faulty as I'm hoping to try and fix it myself. Thanks
No the information we have from Humax support is not consitsent.
One responce from Humax support mentions a resistor. Others suggest a capacitor.
Bearing in mind this is maybe be either.
Either suggests a major design flaw or or more likely a component installed by Humax not to the spec required.
One thing is certain. As Humax was able to repair the original units without any loss of recordings they must know the problem (which seems certain to be hardware issues), My HDR-1009S from the original launch now has a 2TB drive and continues to work 100%,
In either case the fact that Humax originally offered a repair for those affected a free repair for those affected within the 2yr warranty and early posters had their boxes repaired, with all recordings intact, must suggest that the problem was well known to Humax, and that they have simply abandoned those that bought the later boxes with the issue.
Add this to the fact that that a commercial provider apparently has a fix, that Humax did not reveal the fix to us all. Simply to most would suggest a scandalous cover up that Humax should have covered the costs, by concealing the facts and selling the actual issue to a 3rd party repairer for a unknown sum.
Anyone else - fancy a complaint to OFCOM for further invesigation.
