20 Most Recent Mustek PVR-H140 Digital Media Player - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Yes, No Problem The PVR-H140 is fitted with a Standard Laptop IDE Drive, though be careful not to damage the connector as it is quite delicate, if you can afford it you may want to fit one of the new solid state drives, this will have the advantage of using a lot less power so considerably increasing the battery life..

Also be aware opening the unit may invalidate your warrenty if you have one.

I have the instructions on pdf if you can send me an email address i will forward on

Kind regards

Did you power the PVR on as well as connecting the USB?

Try this link http://www.nodevice.com/driver/_PVR-H140/get33981.html

Try Maplins, or a specialist electronic component supplier.

Try re-loading the drivers from http://www.nodevice.com/driver/_PVR-H140/get33981.html

Yes that's correct newer SD Cards use faster memory chips that are not always compatable, not just with this unit but you can have the same problem with cameras and other MP3 players as well.

The PVR-H140 is quite old now so stick to the older type cards, oh and they dont like being hot swapped, this can cause a shutdown or driver corruption, insert them before turning the unit on.

HI,
the drivers for the unit are available at http://www.nodevice.com/driver/_PVR-H140/get33981.html

you can use the unit as an external drive, you will need to connect the it to your computer via usb then power it up, after 30 seconds or so it should show up on "My Computer" as an extra drive.

if it doesn't show then the internal battery could be flat, though it will charge via the usb if the power is off (red light on when charging) or use the supplied power adapter.

Download the zip file, then just copy all the files to the unit, should work fine, don't forget to keep a copy in case you need them again.

you can order a new battery from mustek in germany
I have got there email address at work i will post it here in the next couple of days
But I had the same trouble the battery would only last half an hour or so

I had to send 30 euros in cash !(due to horrific bank charges)
but went very smooth got it all sorted in about 2 weeks start to finish
now mine works fine

Tje pvr-h140 basicall have 3 major components

1- 40 gb hard disk
2- battery pack similiar to the cordless phone battery packs
3- integrated panel with LCD and control buttons; usb port; power port; av in/out port.

when the unit hangs on initialize; this mean the hard disk is not responding. you can hit the recessed reset button and and power it back on. if the hard disk is OK this should clear up the issue.

if the hard disk is bad (crashed) then you need to replace the disk. Usually a fitjitsu 40GB notebook drive

also if the unit was dropped; constantly banged; etc then the cable to the hard disk to the integrated panel may be loose. The disk to cable is pinned and doesn't come loose but the other end of the cable is taped to the integrated panel and can come loose if the unit is not handled properly.

finally if the boot up files are corrupt; then you should be able to see it on the pc with the usb connection.

In this case you need to download and restore the files as discussed in the other solutions. Basically mustek has a website with all the drivers.

1) you can charge off the usb port

2) pv-h140 has basically 3 parts

1- 40 gb hard drive (ususally a fitjitsu)
2- a battery pack (similar to the cordless phone)
3- the lcd and the pvr panel

when it hung on initialize; this means the hard drive crashed or the file is corrupt. if you drop it; you can reseat the cables and sometimes that helps.

you have to use the softwear that comes with the unite to download or this will happen.

Hello.
Try to remove the hard disk and check it with CHKDSK on your windows system with a USB rack.
If there is a problem, format it with this http://fat32.storex.eu/ and restore the files(mustek.de).
Then it will work again.

If your hard disk is correct, then you need to check the electronic device, connection, battery, and so on... Otherwise a check of your device has to be performed by an expert in electonic.

good luck!

i connected mine without using any sotware, using a usb cable and it shows up as a drive letter "K" on mine,then the folders or files that i want i just copy them then paste them whereever i want on the pvr for example i copied a folder containing about seventy mp3s and pasted it into my music on the pvr,hope this helps.

i think that you will need to send it back to the mustek shop, the same thing happened to me, and they fixed it for me, within a week

you need to go to musteks website and download the following file pvr-h140_restore_files.zip from product support area

that should get your pvr working again ?.

yeah, man, i did the same. cracked the glass, without damage to the screen, and then just made one myself, cutting it out from a cd-box and then glued it on :)

Hi,

Are you trying to restore the files you previously had on your Mustek or just trying to get it to work as it did before the format? If you're just trying to get it to load, follow these instructions:

"Install the PVR Console software in the bundled CD and connect the device to PC. The software will help to restore system data and boot up files to the device automatically. When the copying is done, restart the device for twice."

If you're trying to restore the data you accidentally formatted, connect it to your PC and try using a program such as Free Undelete to restore the files that were previously deleted. In the program, you need to browse to the drive that your Mustek shows up as on your PC (so if the drive is X: you need to restore files on X in the program).
