I can't believe this worked for me but it did. My 450h got to where it would freeze up, then got so bad it reported a HDD error every time about 1 minute after powering up (after which you could not do anything at all with the HDD). I replaced the cable, and now it works fine, plus all my recordings are still there. How can a cable go bad like that? I can understand one that's constantly being moved, but one that's stationary?

Thanks hkan!

Has the E01 come back? I've got the same problem? Hard to imagine that a cable goes. Small currents in this cable.

changing the cable did not work for me, I seem to have lost my HDD altogether , the HD light comes on briefly, then goes off .
Need to know how to replace hard drive and how much would it cost to DIY it , would appreciate any help on this .lx60d

I recently bought a used DVR 540. It work great and a great improvement over my DVR 210... after a week of using it.I got the EO1 on the FL.. I was shocked.. I did a search and landed on the Pioneerfaq site then here.. I followed the advice offered about the SATA cable and it works... Great advice.. Just wanted others to know that the cable swapping does work
