UPDATE: PVR Error - Mustek PVRA1 or Goodmans GPDR-1 / GPDR1 / GDPR 1 [Digg.com This!]

"Hi!
I've a Mustek PVR-A1 and I've had the same PVR ERROR.
Did you know where can I get that firmware update? The page you talk about
is no longer online.
Did you fix it with that?"
I have not fixed any device with a new firmware. My original device that had PVR Error I returned and my replacement device has been fine. I installed the latest firmware on this replacement (working) device hoping I would guard against it happening again.
I did some Googling and found Google has some cached versions of the pages I linked to. Unfortunately Google doesn't cache the downloads. However, some good news: I still have some of the files saved.
The following files and pages I make absolutely no warranty on either expressed or implied. The files were downloaded from the web and I provide them on face value. Upon downloading the files you accept FULL responsibility for any harm they may do to your device, your person, or your dog. I cannot guarantee they will work. I cannot guarantee upon using them they will not harm your device, potentially permentantly.
Cached files (originally obtained from http://pvra1.newmedia.nl/firmware) and also available from the Google link above:
Firmware information: pvra1.newmedia.nl_firmware.html
Information on change the theme of your device (this may help in resetting the icons): pvra1.newmedia.nl_themes.html
How to firmware update the device: pvra1.newmedia.nl_howtoupdate.html
The latest firmware, 2.7A, that I downloaded from pvra1.newmedia.nl before it closed down: pvra1.newmedia.nl_PVR-V27A.zip
The Mustek updater app: pvra1.newmedia.nl_ISP_Updater.zip. Please note this is zipped up from my Program Files directory. I didn't have the original zip, but I did have it installed. I believe there are no dependencies, so this should work ok. Note you will probably need to install the video downloader software that came with your device. This worked fine with my Goodmans GPDR-1, even though it's Mustek branded.
This is all the files and info I currently have. Sorry it's not more! If you have any luck sorting out the device please let me know and I will update my posts accordingly.
Good luck if you're having this problem. Please leave a comment below or email me so I can keep this page up to date with fixes.

fyi, follow the updating themes document...step 5 did not work for me but as suggested by the forums, continue to follow the rest of the directions and my themes have been restored!
The original site is now back up, so please use that rather than these cached pages.
Also, I tried installing the firmware with V2.4, 2.6G and 2.7A. When I pressed the buttons to get to the test menu nothing happens. I assume they've moved or removed the menu on later versions of the firmware. :-(
Has anyone seen a problem where the PVR-A1 will just keep turning itself on and off constantly?
Can anyone please send me the original theme files to lilsoccerdude_13@hotmail.com Also,when they say to put the theme files in the root of the memory stick,where exactly is that??? Please let me know. Thank You
Can anyone send me the original theme to jrcosta@hotmail.com ?
Thanks in advance,
RC
