[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 154369, member: 175089"] Hi dave747, [edit: my reply is slightly OT, but may prompt further questions] I am gonna ask the obvious here. Do we have another Hamphire in Germany/Spain user here, LOL.:D IMHO the Panasonic problem happened ages ago, so I hope (whether its real Hampshire or not) that you haven't bought one on Ebay :mad: With the Panny 30 - it has been noted (without any solution that didn't involve oodles of cash (sic)) that the problem could be: power supply, memory chips, software, and/or the MPEG processor getting too hot (sic). I'd rather like to believe those who reckon its SONY's fault. I now have two Panny 30's and have cross-tested the basics with both. The power supply from the dud box worked fine in the replacement one and vise versa. The board (because of the nature of standby) could not be tested at major test points - because the dud box was dud :rolleyes: Other high level volt points were fine though. The firmware on the dud box (thanks to it being 'ON' at the time of d/loading and subsequently going titsup) was newer than the firmware on the replacement box. Stop for breath. Why? Well, the replacement had been sitting under my mates stairs for about a year before the Panny 'freeze' problem arose. After a forced firmware d/load - the replacement box hasn't flinched since. Where does that leave us? Probably just to clear with you whether its been a friend since before and after the original Panny problem - and, probably more importantly, whether you are in Hampshire Hampshire. Sorry for being upfront ;-) Mark. [/QUOTE]
