Hi,
My Showstopper was working like a dream and then POOF!
Now it dials up, gets all of the information, and when it's finished, the guide is empty, and the time is incorrect.
I tried clearing out the channel guide info, changing the dial up number, etc. - basically everything I could find online to do. Still nothing.
I was thinking maybe something was messed up on the HD, since (as I understand it) the time and channel info is stored on the HD.
I popped my old drive back into the unit, forced the dial up, and the same thing. Blank channel guide and wrong time.
Then I got to thinking about how the unit would be blank and would need to dial up after even the fastest power loss (like my son flipping off the battery backup unit).
Inside the unit, under the HD mount is a battery that has popped and leaked a small amount onto the motherboard. I pulled this battery, and cleaned the motherboard. I'm hoping that replacing this battery will fix my problems.
If it does, it may be a good idea to replace your battery before it messes something up!
The problem is, the battery has no markings. Any clue what I can do for a replacement?
