    Hi I have an old silver 9200 which has developed a clock problem.

    When switched off with hand set it display 4 dashes – – – – not the time. of-course this means I miss scheduled recordings. I have remover aerial and done a default reset after formatting the drive, switched it off at mains for 24 hrs and re-done above but to no avail. Software up to date v23 I think it is.

    It must be at least 5 years old and never missed a beat especially with the last software, is it time to put it to rest?

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks

    Dave

    Just confirm that the clock displays –:– when in Standby and not —- as you indicate in your post.

    Dave what Biggles is asking is what exactly is displayed, is it

    dash dash colon dash dash, or

    just 4 dashes

    This FAQ which I should really have linked to explains all:

    I had the problem with the –:– and I did the clean up procedure and it worked perfectly. However I thought I would copy some of the video off the disc while I was at it. But when I connected to a PC nothing happened other than I heard it do the usual connect sounds. I also tried Ubuntu with the same result. No disc shows up. Any thoughts anyone ?

    The Humax SD recorders use a proprietary disk format. You need to use special software to read the disk such as Humaxrw; see http://humaxdisk.wikispaces.com/HumaxRW. There is a risk that trying to read the disk on Windows has damaged the Humax partition table if this is the case then you can use HumaxCheck to fix the problem.

    Humaxrw can also be found here on the Blog download pages 😉

    When you do connect it DO NOT allow Windows (or any other OS) to “initialse the drive”

    Hi all

    Got a chap to clean the required part. It took him no more than 30 mins and all is fine again. But his is an instrument mechanic and had the correct cleaning fluid etc.

    Many thanks to all

    Good news Dave :D

    I’ve just this last week had to repeat the cleaning process myself as I was intermittently losing the clock agin in standby, swapped back my 500GB drive which had been corrupted, surface refreshed and reformatted at thesame time.

    It’s now playing second fiddle to the Tivo.
