Guest nhastie Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi All, Anyone on this forum want to price to repair a DM Digital Sprite 1, I just bought from a friend? Its 4 years old and I`m told has suffered a hard drive failure. Model number: DS DX16-C-2X75GB It currently has x2 75 GIG HD`s and ideally I`d like it upgraded to maximum capacity at the same time, which I understand is 150GB. Not bothered about a software version upgrade. Regards, Nigel, Tyne and Wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian.cant Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Im guessing but the cost of repair could be almost as expensive as buying a new unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 2x75 not 150 any more then? What's the new rules re: mathematics? Are they now part of the building regs too, or is it only long division and single figure multiplications that have changed?

Guest Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Another classic mod post! Why? Pardon? Missus burnt your tea or something? Can't you just take the 2 existing disks out yourself and go to a computer shop and ask them for 2 new ones?? I was going to suggest that but some DVR's have been known to be tempremental with makes other than what the manufacturers have specified. Bit of an expensive way of doing 'trial and error' repairs!

Well in most DM units if they have RAID storage then 2 x 75 is still 75 Can't you just take the 2 existing disks out yourself and go to a computer shop and ask them for 2 new ones?? Nope, DMs operating system is on one of the disc's, so you would need to get hold of it to put it back on one of the disks. www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.
