Samsung sky hd has not been used for some months. came to switch it on today but wont come out of stanby. tried unplugging holding down backup and waited for all lights to come on. lights went off but still wont turn on.
opened the box up and there seems no loose wires.
connected hard drive to pc via sata and was recognised with copy+ and mentioned darwin version.
formatted the drive with windows xp to see if it would let me write to the hard drive which it does.
have now got the hard drive recognised under copy+ and reinstalled the files
Am i waisting my time trying to get the hard drive to work in the sky box again as it could be another hardware failure that is stopping the sky hd from coming out of stanby. i know there was a fault with thompson psu's but cant find any info regarding samasungs
thanks for reading and replying mike
I have now bought an exact same model which i will use to swop out parts to isolate stanby issues
