In almost every report of this problem, though, reseating the SATA cable fixes it. If adjusting the SATA cables does not fix your problem, you may need to bring the unit in for professional service, there is little else you can do at home. Be very sure the recorder is disconnected from AC power before doing this, as its very easy to short out the power supply with the drive bracket or your screwdriver. Note you may need to unscrew the hard drive mounting bracket so you can move the HDD enough to clear your fingers and allow pulling the cables out. Turn it on and see if it works normally again. The final time, make sure they are plugged in quite securely, then replace the top cover and restore power to the unit. Repeat this plug/unplug of the hard drive cables three or four times, to scrape off any tarnish. Unplug the recorder, take off the cover, and disconnect the plugs from the hard drive and motherboard ends of the SATA cable (and any other cable plugged into the hard drive). Its probably the SATA cable, it worked itself loose from vibration or it oxidized.
