Another Foxsat HDR problem. I have one which switches on and powers up but the tv display has the loader page and the message “uploading” – it’s stuck on that screen. Message below says press the standby button to restart but it just reverts to the same message. I swapped the front panel to another Foxsat HDR which has a crack in the front panel but no ther faults; the “uploading” fault transferred to the second machine.
My guess this is a firmware fault, perhaps due to faulty firmware memory. Anybody come across this one and am I correct – does it need a new front panel pcb?

Try opening the box and disconnecting the Hard Disk Power and Data connections.
If the box then boots as a non recording box then it likely needs a new hard disk.
Thanks for the reply. As I said, this box was working perfectly until I swapped the front panel because it was cracked so I don’t think the hard disk is faulty but suspect the front panel pcb is. I will change it for a tested disk (Seagate Seatools) and report back but it’s not a high priority at the moment.
Update on this post. I tried disconnecting the hard drive cables and switching on again – no difference. I also changed the front panel pcb into a front panel moulding with no cracks and fitted that then reconnected the hard disk. The Foxsat works perfectly – I also updated the firmware and now have a working unit with no front panel cracks and the latest (manufacturer’s) firmware.
I also now have another unit with cracked front panel and faulty pcb but otherwise working. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement, used front panel? Incidentally, the only component I can see on the front panel pcb which may be faulty is the display panel. Is this the only active component on the board?
