LG RH177 DVD Recorder/HDD Recorder - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I got a link to this page in another site:

http://www.ifndef.altervista.org/index_eng.html

The third Loader Repairing option gives this detailed instructions on how to fix it.

Hi there,

I had a RH 178 with the same problem. I opened case and removed the plate with the 2 drive cables and the front lcd cable. Simply wait a few mins and plug it back in, connect the 3 cables and use the 4 srews and VOILA it runs!!

No more "please Wait"

I think it was a connection problem with the "uplink" to mainboard (not the three drive cables and LCD). Can someone please report if it works with his LG?

I have the same problem... Any ideas?

Press 'setup' on the remote
Scroll down to the 'lock' icon
Press 0 seven times - you'll get onscreen confirmation.

HI,

Please do hard reset by unplugging all the cords of the unit for 30min and then plug it back in.Let me know if you still get the same error.

I will be waiting for your reply.

Well, to solve the problem quick, I actually called in the service guy. Over here, LG comes to the door, but at an extra $40 bucks excluding parts. What I realise is that the drive is very easy to install, so could have just bought the part and installed myself, saving the $40.
With a DVD drive, it is hard to pinpoint the problem. And it being so cheap (old tech/over supply), most service centres would just replace the whole thing. 

the recorder must be off, otherwise timed recording doesn't work

Hello I Recommended 16x or higher DVD+R there the best when it come to recording movie data and backups - no you do not need special disc

I have had the same problem a few times. All I do is eject and re-insert the disk until it recognises it, this seemed to work for me

maybe you'd got a wrong installation of your dvd.

the amplifier of your connections to dvd is main cause of the problem'

go and change the lens

have you tried here dvd

Mine did to, it was the fan at the back of the recorder. I fixed it by inserting a cardboard spacer between the fan & the case.
