Would an 'early' version stop it booting then?
I don't think it is very likely but if it was running a very early version then just maybe.

As recommended, I disconnected the hard drive and switched on again but it still won't boot and just displays PVR-9300T on the display. Is there anything else I can try now that Plan A has not worked for me?
A couple of thoughts on this:
One process that has helped in similar situations in the past is:
"Switch off at mains.
Disconnect aerial
Switch on and start the pvr.
If it is now responsive go into the menu and do a default setting allowing it to do an automatic tune that finds no channels.
Then standby and switch off, reconnect aerial and switch on/start again.
Tune in using whichever of automatic or manual works in your situation (manual is often required to prevent channel allocation and recording problems)."
Secondly if you read this thread from the top the original poster found that disconnecting the hard drive still left the PVR displaying PVR-9300T. Connecting and formatting a different drive fixed his problem. If you have a spare drive from a PC try fitting it in the PVR and see if it works (note all content on the drive will be lost). Alternatively as you have three other 9300T temporarily take the hard drive out of one of the others and fit it into the problematic 9300T and see if it works. Note when fiddling around inside the PVR be very careful to disconnect the mains power while the case is open and be very careful with the power supply as it is very easy to destroy it.
