Hi,
I've been having a few problems with my HDR-1000S. Over the summer I lost a whole bunch of channels (no signal received errors). Nothing worked, except doing a full factory reset (re-scan didn't fix it for some reason). However, when it happened again last night, I tried doing a factory reset again, but this time my box won't go any further than the initial welcome screen at the beginning and pressing OK with "Next" highlighted does nothing.
I know the remote still works, as I tried it with fresh batteries and the volume and power buttons still function.
I suppose the question is, can the box be reset by an alternative method to going through the settings menu? ie through a maintenance mode or other key combination? Or perhaps there's an internal battery I can disconnect in order to reset?
Thanks for any help you can offer!
