622 Ticking

[CharlesH]

My 622 froze and started ticking this evening. I unplugged the receiver and after resetting everything seems to be ok now. Has anyone had this problem before? Is this the beginning of a bigger issue?

Thanks for any insight.

your hard drive is on it's way out!

Probably. If you have an EHD, I'd be putting your recordings on it.

If it's your - buy new disk - 500 GB (search for exactly model here) and turn it into 722

It is the HDD. They are sending a new one.

The first rep said ran me through check switch and several other things and then said wait and see if it clears up.

The second rep I got listened to what I was saying and is sending a new receiver. It will take 3 to 5 days and I lost all my programs (including the new Torchwood). At least the receiver still works so I can watch tv.

There is a chance to salvage the recordings, but it's different level, for geeks only.

make sure it stays ventilated and its not on any sort of incline

In the vinacular it's called the 'click of death'. Copy off all you can before it dies to an EHD then you can copy back when you get the new HD.

We know. They're sending him one.

I got the receiver yesterday and it is up and running. It is sad when I know more than the rep does and have to walk him through the setup.
