Sergio Sanmiguel Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I hit record today on a 788T and all of the sudden both CF & IHDD turned to ----- and not showing remaining space neither recording tracks... Power cycle & Removed batteries and still shows like there's no media mounted. Is this a known bug? Handed over CF card to DIT and also plugged the 788 via FW800 and media showing up... but 788T wont show mounted media!! Any leads?!?!

Marc Wielage Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Very strange. How much space is on the HD? Did you try a different CF card? The only thing I can recommend in this case is to try an external drive and see if the machine will recognize that and will allow capturing to it. My guess is that the internal drive controller crashed, but only the factory would know for sure. I have had regular computers suddenly refuse to see attached devices, and that was the cause.

Sergio Sanmiguel Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I did try a new CF and still blank. Remaining space on HD was over 90 gig and CF about 20gig . Pressing the HDD button will show all files in the drive and remaining space but main screen will show only blanks (------) Have a long day of shooting today and need to figure this out...

JonO Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 1)Make sure that you have your preamps activated (ie not clicked off) 2) Make sure that you have your tracks are assigned inputs in the input routing menu 3) in the input menu, make sure that at least one of your tracks is selected to be recorded with a star 5) try it without the cf card 6) panic because your f'd! Thats all I can think of, good luck. -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Sanmiguel Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 All of the above checked... And was actually recording while this happened...This is a rental unit I got from Trew Audio since I sent my Nomad to the shop for a quick tune up. Stress is not my issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayer Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 What Firmware revision? Make sure the record tracks are routed to the available media. Press input and then FF[Media Softkey] You should see CF IN EX listed after every track. Or just do a factory reset, that will ensure that you have a good baseline to work from.

Sergio Sanmiguel Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 As I mentioned before, this happened during recording so tracks were routed & enabled... I'll do factory reset and see what happens. Gear is on location in production van so will do that as soon as I get there in about an hour. I'll also do a firmware update just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayer Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Last thing to try would be to open the bottom of the 788 and gently disconnect the hard drive flex board (ribbon cable). See if it will then recognize a CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriskellett Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 To be fair Randy, the software update came out 2 weeks ago and a lot of folks tend to wait a week or two after an update comes out to see if any issues arise before committing.
