After owned this model since they first came out I'm now have a major problem. We had a power outage a few days ago in resulting in loosing almost all the recordings on the hard drive, at this stage I still had access to all TV chanels that I had logged into, but the info on the  the HDD and % of free space left is showing, the proble is it it was not showing all the recorded programs that where recorded, only the last two programs that were being recorded at the time of the power outage. I tried using "System restore to stored position" but had no luck, but the result was that when I now try to exit the menu to enter the normal TV position it refuses to do so and every time I press the EXIT button the screen briefly goes blank before returning back to the menu icons. If I reboot it it now starts with the Installation setup and only after inserting all the require dinformation it then goes into the menu system, I have tried disconnecting the HDD drive thinking the fault might be in that ( might stil be as having a corrupt Hdd and no Hdd creates the same result), if the HDD is the problem is it possible to get another one for it.I would buy another X900, new or secondhand, if any where available.

 

I can plug an external drive in and it is recconized with all the content on it through the Storage setting in the menu system and then using the play list button but it won’t show the full content that is recorded on the HDD

 

I have tried every other choice in the recovery menu but to no avail .

 

It would be great get some information on this problem.

 

Cheers DeMort

Sounds like the HDD is shot,  you "might" be able to get some of the content off externally but its a big "might"

 

 

 

Take photo of the HDD and its connectors, and ppl here should be able to tell you if compatible blank drives are available, 

 

If you have access to an external USB housing you could then have a look and see what can be recovered from the original HDD

 

 

 

But best to treat all the data as gone, then anything you can recover is a bonus...

Thanks for the reply,I'm not at this stage too worried with what is on the drive at the moment, I'm more interested in just getting the system up and running again

 

 I can purchase a new HDD that is the same as what is in at the moment, the thing is if a I replace the hard drive I presume the Sytem will set it up by using the Factory restore on the recovery menu as the HDD won't have any setup data on it

One of the menus has a check storage option for the HD. Have you tried it? all recordings are .ts file stored on the HD and accessible in VLC player when using a pc, in the folder called recordings.  if you can hook up a network cable. Its been ages since I did it on mine, unfortunately i disconnected the wifi adapter from mine yesterday. So can't "login" from the PC desktop right now.

 

There is manual here if you need one
