Hello, I hope someone can help as I have not been able to find this subject in the forum search.
I have a CNM Primus 4 ch DVR, also branded as a Sentient and Kguard.
All was fine last time I checked, then the other day I was not able to get a network connection.
Put the monitor on and nothing, just a black screen.
Powered off and on, get coloured lines on the screen with the auto 800x600 resolution, then the resolution changes to 1024x768 and all goes black.
I swapped to a TV on the analog output and it does the same coloured lines then black.
Tried pulling the cmos battery, unplugging hard disc and other parts, still nothing, cpu heatsink still gets a bit warm.
I have seen this problem mentioned on two other forums but no one gave an answer.
I assume the embedded linux board is starting up but the cctv software has stopped working.
Is there a way reflash the embeded firmware?
or is it possible to solder on an rs232 header and connect to linux ?
Any other advice welcome.
The device i have is on the following link but is out of warranty http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/sentient-160gb-4-channel-cctv-kit-with-1-bullet-camera-n09kt
Many thanks in advance.
