Unit fails to complete it's self test routine in that the power appears to drop off partway through and the selftest routine restarts, and restarts, and restarts! Sometimes when it does eventually load, it drops out again when asked to read the disk and then, back to selftest again.
My guess is dodgey power supply regulation but what do you think?
Mine, a Panasonic DMR-E80H, didn't like some of the Ram disk either. Either I was trying to erase it or just read it and it would shut it self off and go into recover mode.
So, I pulled the plug overnight. Then, first thing after I plugged it back in was to eject the disk before it tried to read it. Once the disk was out. It stopped going into recover mode.
Good Luck.
