DR-MH30S "R-LK" Adviser Pro NTSC?
Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:05 pm
Hello and thanks for a very informative site!
I have the DR-MH30S and yesterday as I was watching a recorded program, the system went into the "Loading..." with blue flashing display mode. I powered it off when it finished and got the "R-LK" message on the front panel display.
The unit will now only boot up with no TV display, but only "R-LK" on the front panel.
I've mounted the HD to my Linux box and ran a series of tests. It gave me some LBA Read Errors and of course tells me it has no partition and is is RAW format.
I've found the Adviser Pro (PAL) software and am running it on the unit now. (Although I can't see the TV display because I have a NTSC HDTV in the USA) It is displaying "test..." on the front panel display and the HD is reading/writing quite a bit from what I can hear.
This unit has already been to JVC's repair facility 3 times in the past.
The Caps all look fine, so I'm assuming JVC may have already replaced them. (Bought DVR new in 2005)
Does anyone know where I can find the Adviser Pro (NTSC) version, since I'm in the USA?
Also, does anyone know what HD format JVC is using on these Maxtor drives and is it possible for me to pull my recorded programs off of the drive?
I've done extensive searches for these units and have come up with not very much. This unit has been an awesome system for me and I'd REALLY hate to lose my baby!!!
Any and ALL help is tremendously appreciated!
Thanks so much!
