Frozen Humax
Hey guys, not sure if this is common or not but I've got a Humax DRT400 that seems to be - unhappy. I don't use the unit very often after switching to a S3 HD model, so when I turned on the TV with the Humax recently all I saw was a single image frame from the local news, as if it was Paused. I Powered it down via un-plug method and now it hangs up at the "Welcome! Powering Up..." screen.
I've attempted to run the Code 54, 57 & 58 kickstarts. Every time, after the red light appears, I enter a Code, the screen flashes grey, then "Welcome! Powering Up…" re-appears. The left orange light stays lit for a few seconds then goes out. I've let it sit for up to 40 minutes but the screen never changes.
Guessing at this point the HD may be dead, it's an upgraded model although I can't recall the capacity, model or when I installed it, honestly. I may crack it open tonight & take a look. Any hope of reviving the unit?
I may also have the original HD, perhaps I can swap it out & see if it still functions. Thanks!
