I have a pioneer dvr-810hs that is stuck on powering up screen

[dirk1609]

The unit was used for about six months then put into storage. We were going to sell it so we set it up to clean up the drive. It wont get past the "powering up" screen. I have tried the manual DVD eject and there is nothing inside. Any other ideas? If it is just a replace HD issue is someone here intrested in the unit? What value would somethjing like this have? It has the remote and I can incude many of the needed cords. As I said above it was only used for a few months and it worked great until unhooked and stored. At this point im baffled and very disipointed.

The value depends on whether or not the unit has a lifetime subscription. If it does you could get a pretty nice price on eBay. Otherwise, it depends on how large a hard drive you upgrade to when repairing. The built-it DVD burner is a nice feature that definately adds value. Also, since it's a Series 2 unit it is capable of HME/networking features.

Look on eBay to get pricing ideas and then do the math once you decide how large a drive you want to use for the repair/upgrade.
