Hi all. Im using ACR-PV73100 firmware version v9.5.3 r7317.
Recently when i browsed down 5-10 movies, then the unit crashed... Then, none of the buttons worked and the only way that i had to resolve the problem was disconnecting the power cable.

I suppose this is a known problem but anyway here is another one with the same problem. Can i downgrade the firmware as i found in the forum that downgrade the firmware will solve the issue, but the setting doesn't show the covers that we have in the folders of the movies. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

ACR-PV73100 firmware version v9.5.3 r7317.... strange... did you install wrong firmware?

according to acryan website and my own folder, 73100 is old/first model. for asian model, the last firmware is Firmware v7.4.3.r7317 - Asian Edition
http://acryan.com/sg/acr/support/ACR-PV73100/

howver, even for 7317, i had it good for a short while. then for some reason, not sure if it's due to ext hardisc or what, it gave so much trouble that i was forced to retreat to Firmware_PV73100_v7.4.3.r3966_Asian, the first firmware with the gui2. this one is stable, few problems but has 2 disbenefits - no hdd spin down, and screen saver wun work at pause but must "stop".

7317 works fine with the mini or mini2.
all said, my pohd is >3 yrs old. despite all the little troubles, i had much fun. great great buy overall. thumbup.gif

i see...

i m puzzled that the box came with v9.5.3 r7317 instead of official v7.4.3.r7317. come think of it, that v9.5 may be the beta version that never completed the tests, shelved officially.

firmware can be downgraded, just flash it as recommended.

quick tips for you when doing that:
. be sure you have the right version firmware
. read and follow instructions in full
. gui may be slow after installation - you can improve it by turning off "hdd scanning" and turning on "delete history" under settings.

i am surprised... i have flashed, sys update, upgrade, downgrade, a dozen times!

likely you did not follow procedure....?

make sure yr usb drive has the right "img" file at the first level of the drive.
read and follow flashing procedure correctly - switch off the mains, push on/off button and hold, on mains, do not release button until you see a message on the screen.
give it time, it can take 1-2 min for the reinstallation to complete.

Ok finally solved. I change the hdd from 1tb to 500gb. still not ok. then i notice if i open using movies- only after i browse these 3 files/movies then the machine will hang. I think there are some files corrupted coz after i remove these 3 files/movies, the problem is ok, now i change back to 1tb no prob. Its ok.

So the question is- how come those 3 files are corrupted. Coz i manage to play those movies before no prob. Also now i can play those movies on pc. Whats happened? My oh my.... Thanks all for help. Godbless
