ronbo 0 Posted April 17, 2008 hi all Got an old and cheap Maplin 4 ch DVR, ( actually its not as bad as what you may think) anyway the in built clock doesnot work. I can set the time and date but when i exit to live pictures and the clock dont move, even when play back. i thought it may be the internal battery but replaced it but no joy even shorted the two jumpers next to it but nothing. any ideas??

si_kungs 0 Posted April 18, 2008 ask the manufacturer for service repair. it is a hardware problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronbo 0 Posted April 18, 2008 as the unit was cheap and is out of warranty that would be the last resort, i take it that its a single simple chip that is used but if i wanted to replace it i would have to speak to the chinnes manufactuer may have to lease how it is for now, also when i short out the jumper the seconds digits change to the number 5 and the @ sign. Does that mean any think? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
si_kungs 0 Posted April 21, 2008 yes what you did is to manually move the clock. maybe the crystal oscillator running the clock is not functioning anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronbo 0 Posted April 24, 2008 tryed a few things more, i take its not going to be easy to fix this problem if the chips gone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
