To change the hard drive
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.

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.

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!

NEED DRIVERS FOR MUSTEK PVR-H140
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.

Mustek PVR-H140 shuts down when I insert some SD cards
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.

Hmm, what software are you using to convert your movie? and do you have the same problem if you copy a movie directly from a DVD? try doing that if you haven't already.
The supplied convertion software is awful, very badly written and a waste of time, I use "Arcsoft MediaConverter" it works well is fast and is just a simple drag & drop interface.

My mustek pvr-H140 freezing
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.
