What's the solution

i want the mfd date of HDD S.R. No. 90Z94YRX

Hi,

You said that you have changed the batteries.
While you're checking the batteries, make sure that the contacts for the batteries aren't corroded or bent. You can clean them with a pencil eraser followed by a nail file. If necessary, gently bend them back to their correct position.

Try these too,

• Go up to the receiver and try changing the channels without using the Remote Control.
• Refer to the Remote Control setup instructions, and make sure you have the correct codes programmed for your equipment.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the front of the receiver (e.g., furniture).
• Make sure you are operating the Remote Control within 20 feet of the receiver.

If all the above doesnt work,
Then

Either the remote or the receptor on the device is not functioning.

1. Use an Infrared Sensor Card to see if the remote is sending a signal.

2. If the remote is sending a signal, it used to control that device, and no other solution works, you should have a service center look at the device and remote to determine the problem and if it can be fixed.

The EPG is the electronic program guide trying to download TV listings.

This is normal for this player. To disable this, you would need to turn off the TV guide function.

player only read +r

check ebay - i got a disc for my 530h on there which unlocked it perfectly

i have a firmware update for sale £10 Via paypal suyapa@spc101.com for 3100 & 5100 makes player region free, but resets all settings to factory defaults, so you would need to save all programs & films you have recorded.

First of all, Don't Record Anything else on this machine! Even though you have "deleted" items, they live on the disc still. However, anything you now record May be written over the files you have come to know and love, and that's why it's Important to try and follow this advice. After that, you can utilize an "undelete" code to restore your titles....accordianman

If the unit will not recognize any discs, then I would suspect a weak laser pickup, assuming the lens is clean.
