Hi
My Humax 2000T Freeview has been reliable but today nothing happens when I press the stand-by button on the remote or that on top of the box. The Remote has new batteries and the power supply delivers 12V. When I use the aerial pass through I get no signal at the TV but the aerial connected direct to the TV is fine so I presume the internal psu may be faulty.
My unit is out of warranty so will have to open it up. Anyone have a link telling me what the fault is and the components needed?
Can survive a few days with TVbut not be able to record or playback is a bind!

Please would you confirm he model? The Humax HDR-2000T does not have a button on top of the box. The on/off touch area is located on the front of the HDR-2000T.
Which ever model it is there are many things that can go wrong with it. To fix it you will need to narrow down what is wrong with it. With out doing that any ‘fix’ will just be a guess.
You don’t say what lights are being displayed on the box. From your description possibly the wall plug has been switched off or disconnected, or the external PSU has been disconnected.
Neither does the Youview box DTR-2000T.
Pretty sure the HDR-2000T has an internal power supply so no 12V input.
The Freeview-Play FVP-4000T/5000T have power buttons on the top right hand side.
The satellite HDR-1100S also has the power buttons (Both use the pie dish shaped case).
My humax 2000T has a standby button at left of the top. It has no on/off switch. It has a 12V supply.

There are two Humax models in the UK that include 2000T, all have a prefix that indicates the actual model. The model should be on the sticker on the actual box. If you aren’t in the UK it’s likely to be a model we do not have here.
HDR-2000T

DTR-2000T
Neither of these have any buttons on the top.
If you aren’t in the UK without the full model number and your location you are unlikely to find a member that recognises what the box you have is.
The full model number should be on a sticker on the box.
A quick check on the Humax Australia website shows no 2000T model exists.
A Google search on Humax 2000T finds only the two UK models shown above.
Thanks. My memory let me down – the buttons are on the front not the top: I was thinking of our 4000T. The model is the HDR-2000T
Is the status light of the HDR-2000T operative? If so which colour is it?
If it is not illuminated then have you checked the power connection?
Neither red nor blue lights on. The 12V psu shows 12V on my multimeter
I have pressed both the standby on the remote and the front panel an have also held them on for about 5 sec
You say you have measured the PSU output and it reads 12v on your multimeter. Did you measure the 12v with the DC plug removed? If so there would be no ‘load’, and could be giving a false reading. When connected to the PVR, and so ‘on load’ the voltage could be low. If you can try another PSU.
That is a possibility though unlikely and ruled out on checking using the psu for our 4000T.
Surprised this morning when I switched the humax on at the wall I got the red status light and this changed to blue when I pressed the standby button
I can only think the box overheated and cut out though this has never happened before. I was about to buy a refurbished one so well pleased
Thanks for the reponses
Powering another box does seem to prove the PSU is ok. Glad it seems to have come good.

If it goes wrong again and you do decide to buy a refurbished HDR-2000T, then keep your current unit for spare parts. E.g. the HDD chassis and its noise dampening and fan unit are not fitted to all HDR-2000Ts and you may want to transfer it to the refurbished unit.
I don’t know if you know this already but don’t bother to transfer your current HDD to a different unit to preserve the recordings. All recordings, both HD and SD, can only be played on the unit that recorded them as the encryption key is unit specific. Obviously if any replacement HDR-2000T that you may eventually buy has a smaller HDD then it would be a reason to transfer the HDD to the replacement unit.
Hi
Well it has gone wrong again three months later.
Exactly the same problem. Neither blue nor red status light is on. No response to the standby button on the remote nor that on the front. Batteries are new and my identical psu on the Humax 4000 makes no difference. Have taken the lid off and nothing obvious.
Since everything is the same and the system worked daily for over three months it must be something simple.
Any ideas
