Meridian G08 given up the ghost

[Mikeandvan]

To close this loop, I chanced on MrTechGuy’s website today and it has a pop announcement on it saying that some messages are failing to clear the server and to call a given number instead to notify the firm of the query.

I've ordered one from Ebay, gonna go off road and do it myself, Mr tech guy is worse than IT than even me it seems!!

Hi Mike

If I read the posts on https://www.meridianunplugged.com/ub...=314926&page=1 correctly you should not need to do anything but fit the drive unit *if* the drive unit is either a DVS DSL710A or DSL720A.

Also mentioned is that Chinese refurbs often do not work and there is a link to a replacement drive unit which Andy claims to have had success with https://www.ebay.com/itm/155343278584

Hope it all works when fitted :-)

Refurb? It's supposed to be new. Besides that the techguy who apparently gets reliable drives is ironically very unrealiable himself! As two months of unanserred emails will attest to.

Hi Mike

Sorry, I may have introduced come confusion...

The ebay link https://www.ebay.com/itm/155343278584 has new drive units.

Some of the drive units offered in other ebay listings are refurbs and should be avoided.

Hope that clears things up.
