Hi guys, I am having a problem on playback,a ticking noise is coming from the drive and the picture is frozen.Has anyone had the same problem? Would be grateful for any advise.
Thank you Jim
A ticking noise suggests a failed or failing hard drive. You could try a power cycyle, that may clear things for a while, but it sounds like (no pun intended) that your unit will soon need repairs.
Hi Clem,Thanks for your reply for the ticking problem on the hard drive of my panasonic recorder. I am new to this game,so could you please explain what is meant by a power cycle and how to carry it out. Many thanks Jim
Hi k-spin,I am not playing anything on the hard drive, Blue ray or/ DVD when the ticking noise
occurs.Do you think this could be a fault on the drive? Many thanks for your help. Jim
Hi k-spin ,Could you please ammend the last message. We were trying to playback from the hard drive only, when the ticking sound occurs,sorry for any inconvience. Jim
No problem Jim. Was just trying to clarify what you were trying to play when you were getting the issue. As Clem said, it does sound like you might have a failing hard drive unfortunately. Worth giving the power cycle suggestion a try though.
