Looks like my 4000 has finally given up the ghost after many years of faithful service.
We've had it since it was first released and it has given years of good service as our main machine downstairs before it was replaced by the Aura. It has been doing light duties in the bedroom since, but out of the blue one morning it refused to turn on.
The machine is getting power as when I plug it in I can hear a slight what I have always called 'hiss', but there is no blue or red light. It has always had this noise if the machine was in normal standby, but not in low power standby or when turned on fully so I know the noise is not a new thing.
I have taken the top off and cannot see anything obvious and I cannot smell any burning like I did when our HDR bit the dust.
I'm not bothered about saving the box as I have bought an SSD which I am using on the TV using the TV's built in recording function, but there is one particular recording I would like to access.
I plugged the drive into an old external USB drive, but my old Windows PC is showing it as a device (Buffalo D3), the old external drive model, but not as an external drive. My Mac is not showing it as an external device either, but when I go into Disk Utility it does shows it as a 1TB disk, but again I cannot do anything with it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
