CyberHome CH-DVR 1500 Progressive-Scan DVD+R/+RW Recorder and Player , Silver
This item is fixable!
My unit wouldn't burn a dvd or play one, or even go into setup. <br />I opened the box by taking out the screws and lifting the cover from the back first then got it off. Then I placed a paper between the battery clip and the battery, leaving it there for an hour, till the unit was dead, no battery. Then removed the paper, put the cover back on and it was just like it came from new.  The people that do the movies have a way of screwing it up while it is burning a movie( actually stops it burning I think). It has a read only memory that is programmable. So removing the battery resets everything to factory.  Now I need to finalize my 179 movies so I can put on the updated software from cyberhome.com  Go there, then look for downloads and print the instructions and download thr 2 files for update. Make sure the serial number on the machine is before the X. check instructions. Like a new one, not perfect but works!!!
