Hi all, I have a PVR-9300T that I need to fix.
It was continually in a rebooting cycle.
On looking on this forum I downloaded humaxrw and ran humaxrw 1: -z to see if that would fix it. Now the recorder just starts its fan, shows PVR-9300T and then shows the clock. On the TV I see '576p' and then a blank screen as the recorder has gone into standby. At least it is not in a continual loop.
It doesn't seem to make any difference whether the internal disc is plugged in or not to the recorder.
Also it doesn't seem to make any difference if the aerial is connected or not.
Maybe I rushed ahead to quickly to try humaxrw?
I would be very grateful for some help rescuing this PVR - it belongs to my 90 yr old Dad and he is really missing it and the recordings on it.
Many thanks.

The recorder wakes up, the fan runs, it displays PVR-9300Y on the LCD panel, waits a bit then goes back into standby, showing the clock 12:00.

The recorder wakes up, the fan runs, it displays PVR-9300Y on the LCD panel, waits a bit then goes back into standby, showing the clock 12:00.OK. I think I have a system flush file for the 9300T somewhere which sorts out corruption in the NVRAM; give me a few minutes to see if can find it.

Sorry to have raised any hopes; what I have is a fix for a problem where the box loses track of its ID which prevents software updates. I have asked Barry if he knows whether a system flush exists.

Thank you so much.
I have experimented by leaving the machine in standby (with internal disc attached) and no aerial plugged in.
I tried powering on with the remote this morning and it is back to doing its continual reboot cycle for some very strange reason.
The cooling fan starts up, PVR-9300T appears on the PVR display, the fan stops, the PVR display goes blank, a channel appears for half a second on the display then disappears, the whole cycle continually repeats until I power the box off via the switch at the rear.I am now really confused! - If you could give me some step by step fool-proof diagnostics to try I would be very grateful!

Barry does have a copy of an old reset file for the 9300 and I think that is your best chance. It will need to be uploaded via the serial interface using my flash 9200 software see https://tynecomp.co.uk/flash9200.html If you don't have a computer with a serial port then I could lend you a USB to serial adapter if required. Frankly I can't think of anything else to try.

With thanks to Barry, I now have the file to force a system reset. Send me a PM and I can tell you how to obtain it.

Many thanks Martin and Barry for your time and help - much appreciated - I will try this.
