Thanks for the test suggestion, Now with the HD removed, the system still performs the same on,off cycle, but now every other cycle shows a blank screen, then back to the booting screen on the following cycle.

Hello, I have a Vitek VT-DVR04 w/80g hd, got this used in a trade and am trying to make it useful. Here goes; the screen shows camera views, but the statement "Booting..." appears, the dvr then beeps 3 times and shuts down for about15 sec, then restarts with the same screen info "Booting..." , at this same time none of the buttons on the remote are useful, though the DVR recognizes the buttons push with a beep. I have given 8 hrs to BOOT, so does anyone have any advice to me on this? any tests you might suggest to narrow down this problem? Thanks Tandy
