Here's the picture

Note the only difference is the last digits, the rest is down to the router.

You have been told twice already;click on "Diagnostics" and then "Hard drive". Please try it rather than asking endless questions.

To access the diagnostics you will need to click on the diagnostics icon. It is the icon labelled 'diagnostics'.
Try it! It is a lot easier to do rather than theories about.

No it is not different. To access the diagnostics you would also need to to click on the diagnostics icon.
Try it!

Once in the diagnostics menu the relevant on screen 'button' to click on is labelled 'Hard Disk'.
Once you are in there look on your screen for the 'raw value' numbers listed against 'Reallocated_Sector_Ct' 'Current_Pending_Sector' and 'Offline_UnCorrectable'. Ideally these would all be 0.

Just tried it, using the lead that connected their yourview box to the router (just swapped at the back of the boxes) it had ip address on the configure lan menu on t2. That ip address did not work in my browser. Clicked on apply settings on the t2 configure lan and a new ip address was generated...also gateway ip address appeared. So tried the new ip address in the browser on my phone and nothing. It just says unavailable. Have i got it plugged in wrong?

Most likely means you haven't installed the Custom Firmware in the first place, or it's been removed, or your phone wasn't connected to your friends WiFi network.

Did you download the software and copy it to a usb stick ?

Did you then follow the instructions to upload it to your box from a usb memory stick ?

Did you log your phone into your friends WiFi Router ?

Did you try the address on your friends PC browser, which will already have be connected to the network ?

The whole idea is to simply download the full software to your box. The simplest way is to use your friends PC/Mac or whatever he uses. This is by far the best option, A phone screen isn't exactly the best experience to install the full interface.

Without this there's no way a browser will recognise the address. It's not accessible outside the local network.

If you did all this, you probably need to re-install from scratch.

Got it to work using laptop. Downloaded full web interface. Rebooted etc. Got a warning message saying: hardware problems with internal hard disk on this device.
Disk pending sector count is 2
Disk offline sector count is 2

Ran hard disk diagnostic.

5 reallocated sector count raw value 0
9 power on hours raw value 15722 ( hence not a new drive??)
197 current pending sector raw value 2
198 offline uncorrectable raw value 2

So i guess that they didnt change the hdd or put an old crappy one in??

Result

They seem to have just formatted the hard disk (hence the undisturbed seal). E-mail Richer Sounds with a link to this thread. The boss often follows forum threads like this. I wouldn't be surprised if he responded personally (If he values the reputation of the company he should). Frankly they need to change whoever does their warranty repairs. As already said it's a very simple job to fit a new hard disk and it only takes 10 minutes or so.

The reallocated sectors are fine. It is the entries 197 and 198 that are the problem. You could telnet in, boot into maintenance mode and run fixdisk. That should sort out those sectors and may make your unit run better. It may be a temporary fix though as the drive is quite elderly.
