I also have a fine drive 400 and it got stock. what should i do to bring it back working

How long it takes to drive any distance depends on your average speed. Whatever is your average speed, divide that into the distance you have to travel. For instance, if your speed is 100 kilometers per hour and you need to go 400 kilometers, it will take you (400 km/100 kmph=) four hours. Always be sure to use the same units of measurement, English or metric, in your arithmetic.

Skipping stitches are caused by a bent or poor quality needle, and never by software.
Use only Schmetz needles if you want good results.
Use Classe, Singer, Unique, Tailorform etc if you want poor results.

that really happens when hardisk crashed..
there is nothing to do but replace it.
but wait.. I have experience that also, could not retrieve all my files in my drive. So what I did is hide it in my stock room for a couple of weeks.
Then one day when i am about to throw away the drive,I get this crazy ideas to try my hardisk again as back up drive.
I connected my drive, put the jumper in it as slave and open my computer.
At first, it reads very slowly after booting, hardly recognized the disk, but it did...
when I am in windows and started browsing the disk, it would take it some time before loading all the files.
When that happened I back up those files and save that to my master drive.
Don't lose hope It might happen to you..
I think what happen is when I hide the disk for a couple of weeks the disk itself discharge all the left volts in it.. not sure about that.

It should plug right in since the 8300 uses an ATX pwr sply.

Hi,

Odds of finding that drive new are slim to none but you can use ANY hard drive of at least same capacity to replace it. In fact as a data recovery specialist I always recommend my customers use several different brand/model drives in their arrays and simply elect to use the smallest one as the size for RAID on the others as this greatly minimizes the chance you will ever have multiple mechanical failures in a short timeframe.

Feel free to replace it with anything 400 or bigger and your raid should be able to assign an appropriate sized partition to the drive while it rebuilds itself.

Hope this helps FixYa,

I wonder if the site is experiencing technical difficulties...you might try to wait for a few hours to see if it is the website..sometimes webmasters bring site down to update site and clean up servers.

Try a GPS reset, exit navigation, click on setup, click on GPS reset. then restart navigation. check the gps status screen to make sure you are getting signals. if not, you could have a failed antenna or GPS receiver in the unit.

Hello boxermom22,

Fine Digital appears to still be supporting the FineDrive 400. To get service on the unit call them at 866-346-3344 during normal West Coast business hours or follow the Return Authorization procedure on their website.
