Hi Guys,
didn't mean to post and run, just been a bit busy. I found out about this page late in the game after my hard drive crashed. Had I known I would have made a backup.
I installed this system in my car about two years ago. Everything worked fine up until a few months ago. I pulled the DMS from the player and the bottom of it was covered with a thin but noticable layer of oil. I took it apart and it the drive looked corroded with varios greens and yellows, a bit of white dust, and this oil. Not sure how it happened, whether it was condensation or heat that did it in, but I knew it was toast.
I came across this forum via google and briefly read that it was possible to upgrade the hd to much larger sizes, so when i came across a 20gb toshiba drive at work I assumed that it was a simple swap/software update and presto. I have since realized that it I am missing a key component, a working DMS and thought it would be easier to post this ad than to spend more time/money on a working drive. I remember seeing an older post from a member in Hawaii that offered this kind of service and was hoping someone out there would do something similar. I'd send my drive with return postage plus a service fee to a trusted member of this forum. In return I promise to hack away at my working dms and swap out my drive with a larger one in the future. Any takers?
Thanks for your time,
Tom M.
