| Did you fix the PSU? A faulty PSU can cause all sorts of weird problems including the "playback stopped" issue and hard disk corruption. |

| Thanks for the replies. Yes MikeyP did a health check on it but I cant remember whether it was 11 or 13 capacitors he changed. He did say that if it started to play up again then it would point to the hard drive. I found the list of drives on the link and didn't want to spend much more on this repair. I figured that I am already in for £25 I may as well pay another small amount to keep the box going until we move on to smart TV. I didn't know if there was a recommended drive other than a straight swap PATA. There is a Western Digital WD1600AAJB 160GB 3.5 inch IDE Hard Drive on Amazon for £22 is it worth a punt? |

Toppy box sat on 'sparkies' bench for ages. Caps OK, HD discoloured (heat). Motherboard (possible heat problem or dry joint?) Thats it with buying PVR's. First 1/ Verty - worked fine but ended up with no downloads - box now in loft.
2/ Toppy - worked brilliantly for a couple of years - then problem after problem - box now in loft
3/ Hello Tivo - time to let someone else worry about malfunctioning equipment.
Thanks for all of your comments and help in the past guys & of course Juwlz

| You could donate your unwanted Toppy to andyfras who, I am sure, will arrange collection, repair it and sell it on with any profit going towards the upkeep of this forum. Send him a PM for details. |
