I just knew that as soon as I wrote about portastudios dying and going away........

This last week when doing recording/mixing/etc. the machine has "frozen", for lack of a better term. None of the controls/buttons will work, and the only way out is to turn off power and restart it. Yes, I know this method of power down is frowned upon, but there is no other choice.

The hard drive was upgraded/replaced in 2002 (13 years ago). The machine does not get moved around or subjected to hard use. Firmware/sofyware was also upgraded to Version 2.0.2.

I'm hoping it's the hard drive and the answer is to replace it.

Has anyone had a similar sounding problem with a computer or portastudio?

If so, what was the fix?

Thanks in advance.
