Hi,
My H8000FW just made a loud pop, screen went dead and the smell of burning electronics wafted up from it, scary.
Once I was sure nothing was burning, I tried starting it up with no success.
Have you heard of similar occurring with other units?
I have never had any hardware do anything like this, and to make it even stranger in my opinion is the limited amount of use the unit has had.
I bought it in September 2008, but for various reasons, it has spent the vast majority of that time in storage, and has been powered up and working for perhaps 200 hours total.
I checked with the company I bought it from in the UK (Funky Junk), and the warranty period was 12 months only.
Needless to say I find it very dissapointing that even though I have had so little use out of the unit, as the warranty is based on time passed since purchase and not time in use, I am looking at having to pay out $1000 for repairs.
What I would really appreciate is if they would let me have the parts for repair, or at least at a discount, am I being unrealistic or naive?
Knowing what a great company Eventide is, I'm really hoping they will help me out here, so if someone on the forum could forwrd this to the right person, I would be eternally grateful.
Cheers
Sheridan
