I'd like the instructions also, please, on or off list. Would be interested in RNIB's take on what we do with our problems.

Hi Ibrahim, I probably shouldn't post these instructions to list as it will probably void your warranty. I will wait for clarification, though the RNIB probably say you should send back to them anyway. its relatively simple though it requires the use of partitioning software in part and a little sighted help to reinstall the voice. I'll contact you off list, if the mods are happy for me to postdisassembly instructions here then i will do.Mo. On 07/07/2012 15:51, Ibrahim Gucukoglu wrote:Hi Mo. Could you tell us how to replace the hard drives in these TVonics boxes? I think mine is going back to the RNIB as I'm experiencing regular lock ups and freezes. All the best, Ibrahim. -----Original Message----- From: Mobeen Iqbal Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2012 1:04 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: TVonics - Amy On Strike! Hello Carol. This is probably due to a failing hard drive. The hard drives used in these machines were cheap hitachi drives, i've already had one behaving strangely. My box wouldn't offer me the option to format or to record. I have replaced the hard drive in the unit with a better drive made by seagate, formatted it and have had no further problems, no crashes, etc. Because the voice runs from the hard drive, if there are any errors on the drive or if its failing, it can cause you to experience crashes/freezing. I can replace the drive for you if you wish, please contact me off list and we can go from there. I'd recommend it to be honest, because if you do a lot of recording and the drive fails it would've been pointless you recording all those tv shows to watchlater!all the best, Mo.

This simply means that she fails to speak,often after booting up, when we first go to use her. Of course, we find ways round, sometimes needing toreboot the box again; but I wonder if anyone else is finding this problem and if you have a better solution than a bit of hit and miss and, finally, if you'veconcluded what's going on and why!Carol P ** To leave the list, click on theimmediately-following link:- **[mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, clickon the ** immediately-following link:-** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:-faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-followinglink:- **[mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, clickon the ** immediately-following link:-** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-followinglink:- **[mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, clickon the ** immediately-following link:-** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-followinglink:- **[mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, clickon the ** immediately-following link:-** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
