Hi cctv forum, I have searched but cant find an answer to this. I have an Apollo HDLED4-SF DVR. I just installed what I believed to be the latest firmware, The dvr will not work now, It powers on but there is no picture, I can hear the hdd working, the dvd drive ejects, and the unit responds to ping on a network. but there is nothing on the monitor. Can this be repaired economically or is it dead???. Looking forward to your expert advise. Regards Sean

Hi Tom, Here are the pics of the unit.

Hi, If the unit is working with no problems do not attempt to upgrade the firmware, I learnt this the hard way.

I have just removed the the battery and left it out for about 10 mins. reinstalled it and switched on, Tried using the network update tool, same result it wont accept the login details, tried telnet same again login incorrect. I can confirm that the I have not changed any login details from default settings prior to updating firmware. I have tried 666666, 888888, admin and user no success with any of them.

Hi, I have tried telnet with the Ip address and 37777, I then get the login, I enter admin and enter then password comes up, when I try to enter nothing appears on the scree. cursor remains in the same place. I have not tried removing the battery yet, will this reset the login to default if it has been altered, I cant understand why it should have changed because I did not alter it from default. Regards Sean before you scrap it. Start, Run Type cmd and hit Enter Type TELNET IP PORT Where IP is the IP of the DVR, and port is the DVR's port (eg. 37777) See if that works, at the least it will tell you if the port is open. firmware updates do not overwrite the passwords, if you have changed the admin password previously try logging in with any network software and your custom password. Optionally, shut down the DVR and remove the battery for 3 minutes, then replace again and power back up. See what that does.

Hi Sean. The IP address has remained the same and responds to ping, I have not changed the login details, yet when I enter admin and admin which are the default login details using the network update tool it just says login failed. looks like the unit is scrap as Adata not interested in helping because I bought the unit from Ebay. Thanks for all your suggestions and help it has been much appreciated. Regards Sean

Hi, The firmware I have is the essential update ECO/LED RELEASE/BUILD DATE 25/06/10. I was told this by Adata Technical support line. So is this incorrect?. I have tried telnet to access the unit but it will not accept the login details, admin and admin. This is the same for the network update tool provided by Adata. the unit has the IP 192.168.1.6. the unit responds to ping but is just not accepting login details which have not been changed from default.

Hi Tom, The firmware installed is 2.608, the latest firmware version. But it is the incorrect firmware. I have the correct firmware to install, but need help on how to install using telnet. Regards Sean

Hi Tom, Yes that is the dvr unit I have from Adata, APOHDLED4-SF. I have the correct firmware for it but cant get it into the machine. Hi is this your DVR ??? there are 2 apollo led 1 is qvis and another is a cheap chines DVR.

Thanks for all your replys, I have tried the composite, rgb and hdmi outputs with no success, dont quite know what you mean about telnet?. Regards Sean
