Ouch Now what ???
I know this has had to happen to someone here,
We where setting up to film a segment of our tv show and I thought the firestore cradle was attached and tight well i thought wrong I pan down and you guessed it off she goes on to the cement floor! It was off and i push power on and now all it does is power on and the fan runs no display and you have to take out the battery to turn off I called Foucus enhancements today and to my shock it would cost a min of 250 dollars just to crack it open??? Its a fs 4 40 gig with miles on it , so it isnt even worth it to fix anyone else have this happen and they fixed it themselves? any other suggestions except scrapping it! thanks |
If you have a hard drive laying around, you could try swapping it out, or check the current one. I have an IDE to USB adapter that converts 3.5" and 2.5" IDE drives to USB, you could check it with one of those (cheaper than a new drive if you don't need one.)

i would open it, see whether anything is broke. Say the screen, or the HDD is killed. I like opening electronics but that does not mean you do. Next time if you get it fixed, I would strap that baby down like it was going on a hike or camping.
I would also swap the hdd like Edward suggested. |
open up!
I am going to open it up and take a look! what harm can it do its already broken
I will follow the nicely detailed instructions on the HDD swap that would be nice if the HDD is just bad i can them up grade it then Thanks for the tips! |
it works again, I took it apart and unplugged the Hdd and plugged it back in and it started back up ! I ran 5 min of video on it and it worked fine
