Dvr

[Rich]

Marky,

You should contact the supplier of the DVR and take up the issue with them, check out their terms and conditions and try and get a replacement.

I presume you are not in the trade so ignore comments about what DVR's are good, all mentioned so far are generally only available to the trade, although you may find a few suppliers that sell them on to the public via the internet.

You probably wont get much help from here concerning the DVR you have as its not something I recognise as being supplied from any of the major supplies. This means replacement parts availability from a member here is very unlikely.

I suggest you have 2 options;

1) Contact the supplier and be firm about having them rectify the problem, especially if its under warrenty.

2) Ask for advise here on getting yourself a new DVR that may be a little more reliable and available.

what so know i shud just put it in the bin i dont think so

Er, yeah, I'd bin it.

Sending it away for testing could cost nearly as much as a new one. For one that will last for more then 6 Months you would want to be spending closer 500 notes. Even eBay has some reasonable new 4 channel DVR's for about 3-400.

Feel free to disregard all the advice given.

Is there a chance that the software for the DVR is on the hard drive?

I think it will be unlikely getting a replacement PSU also, what do you think?

Ok so you have fitted a different HDD and you are running the power for this from you PC. And you get the same results.

If you run the HDD power from the DVR PSU does the HDD spin up?

Also if you run the original HDD from your PC power supply does this spin up ?.

i will have to get my tester from my dads tomorrow but i am happy to say the psu is not giving the hhd power

[Guest marky]

is any of the dvr powering up asif not it sounds like it could be the external psu but if the dvr is powerig up in parts then i would say that the internal was at fault.

thanks for you time so far

Colin, you're getting out of your depth and posting for the sake of it. Half of your question is answered in the first half of the thread and the rest is nonsense.
