Forum:ScreenPlay Pro HD Won't Work

I have a screen pro hd for the last 2 years worked fine. I turn it on one day and blinking blue light. I tried to connect to my computer via usb but doesn't see it. I give up. Any feed back will be great and helpful. Thanks.


 * Sounds to me like your hard drive has failed. 2 years is 1 year beyond the drive warranty (and the ScreenPlay warranty) so all you can really do is replace the hard drive. The Upgrade Hard Disk page has the information you need. --JCoug 04:48, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

I have encountered the same problem and I am looking for a solution. the screenplay proHD is not working when connected to TV and doesnt show up when connected to PC. when started, the blue light blinks and the hard drive make a clicking sound like it has failed. but when i removed the hard drive and connected it to the PC with a usb2sata adapter it works fine and i can access all the data. i formated the drive but to no avail when i connect it through SPPHD. hence couldnt reinstall the firmware. is there a way around to do it manually may be in linux. please help.

 * If the drive is readable by the PC when not in the Screenplay case but not readable by the PC when it is in the screenplay case, first make sure you are turning it on the right way. When it's connected to the PC, DO NOT USE the remote to turn it on. You must turn it on via the front button. If the PC is still not detecting it, try it out on another PC with another USB cable, just to rule out those two possibilities. Because if it isn't working that way, that suggests the main board in the screenplay has gone out. --JCoug 19:37, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
