hi, your HDD is either not connected properly or the connector is gone opposite side, please check it and correct, if the error code is showing again go to menu, manage media, then format disk

you will to ontact the customs office in Kiwiland for that answer. In most cases cleaning the hopper in warm soapy water and buying new filters is enough. Some places require a hospital grade detergent such as wESCODYNE be used to include the air hose(s). Please beware, the AC power in AU/NZ is 230 VAC, so you will need a step down power transformer to use it there. (You'd be better off just buying a new one there to be honest, then you needed worry about lugging a heavy power transformer around of changing the plug end to the Clipsal type used in AU/NZ.)
