Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD Recorder

I bought one of these approx 2 years ago after much research and really loved the features, ease of use, etc. However, my ex got that machine and I got the same model from a mate who upgraded. It was also approx 2 years old. After I'd had it for about a month it kept going into a self-checking loop which rendered it useless when trying to turn it on or use functions through the direct navigator.
It was an excellent machine, in my opinion, but Panasonic should have resolved the issues with the faulty voltage regulator so that it could last more than 2 years for the money! It is not an uncommon fault in this machine.
