Good Luck,
I hope this helps

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.

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.

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

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

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 :)

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

The restore files are here. Mustek don't seem to support it any more You will also need to download the manual for instructions.

Hi, If you haven't solved this problem, I would be interested in buying the Mustek for spares - let me know. [email protected]

The PVR h140 works on mpeg1 or mpeg4 format. If you need to convert avi files for example you will need a third party conversion programme such as Nero7 or similair free programmes.
