I ended up sending it back for repair.

Hi, When I turn on my Avtech KPD677ZL (8ch h264) it hangs on "System Initial..." forever. I think it needs some sort of "hard reset", but I don't know how. I've found a couple of reset guides online, but those DVR's have an internal board completely different from mine: (high res picture) http://i.imgur.com/vOm5b.jpg I need to know which points to short circuit. Could it be fixed by externally reprogramming the firmware (serial, avr, parallel, jtag)? Or by inserting an USB drive with firmware? Firmware I am currently using: http://www.mediafire.com/?3j0war4pqrb36x3 Please help me, I really need this DVR to work

Thanks for your quick response. Sadly the board in my dvr (see high res picture link in 1st post) is completely different. I haven't been able to locate R155 yet, and even if I do there is no guarantee that it will work because the board is completely different. Is there a way to reflash the firmware when it doesn't get past the "system initial..." screen?
