Need Help!! VF-16 problem

[rl7543]

The VF-16 turns on and seems to initialize, but makes no hard drive sound and the screen reads ABS = 0. But it won't play, record, rewind, or fast forward. And all the stored settings are gone. I have called and e-mailed Fostex, but they have not replied to me. Does anybody have any idea what the problem is. It certainly seems like a hard drive problem, but I'm no technician. Also, does anyone know a qualified Fostex service center in the Central PA area (Harrisburg/York). I would greatly appreciate any help. There were drum tracks on there that took an awful lot of time to rehearse and record. I'd be crushed to think they are gone. Thanks Again!!!!! Rob.
