    Toshiba RD-88DTKB DVD Hard driver recorder

    :Hi Everyone this is my first time here so appologies if Im posting in wrong section.
    After a recent power cut our Toshiba RD 88DT DVD Hard drive recorder will play DVDs and previously recorded programs from the HD. But the clock remains -- -- and we are unable to set the time or set up the timer. The auto and manual tune functions wont work and so we are un able to record anything new. Having explored the menues and various procedures from the manual...no joy. I did notice however that from one menue ther was an "About" option, on entering this it had a place for a softwre version but this was blank ie: _ _ _ _. Should there be a software version number here and if so is it feasable that a power cut then subsequent re powering have corupted the software. It is probable that the unit was acctualy switched on at the time of the power cut and not on standby. If all this sound likley how easy is it to get software re loaded.
    Thanks for any sugestions

    Does the unit have a PCMCIA slot (looks like a long slot for a "thick" credit card shaped object), or a USB port, or an SD card slot? If it has Freeview recording capability, it likely has a PCMCIA slot.

    You may want to contact Toshiba on this issue. Several users on this forum have reported they are very responsive to firmware issues and will often post out a memory key/card or PCMCIA card to perform an upgrade or bug fix.
    Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
