Question About RCA DVD Recorder DRC8030N
Hard drive replacement...

Have a refurb unit. Had to take it to a local RCA repair shop and they fixed it. Recently the hard drive failed and, since it is a refurb, the repair company said they couldn't do anything for me-they could not get hds from their supplier. Tried another brand/drive. drive starts up, but the unit only says "Hello". Any thoughts?

0 After the "hello" message appears on the drv, press the menu key on the remote and go to installation. If that does not work, press the power key on the remote and then press the menu key on the remote again. The power button on the unit itself does not always do what it should, but the remote does.

0 Recently I also got the "Hello" message and nothing else on my unit, while I was recording to a disc. It turned out that some of the power supply parts failed, which I had repaired by a local shop. Fortunately, my disc and hard drive recordings were not affected!
