Sentinel CCTV Disk Drive Power problems

Recommended Posts

Hello CCTV People, Hopefully this one has been solved before... my Sentinel CCTV model SC21FD3044 DVR has developed a disk drive power issue. The +12V supply has risen to +19 and the +5 supply has dropped to 1.9V. So now it is eating drives...

 

The people at Sentinel/Lorex are not too helpful since my unit is no longer under warranty. They want me to send the 70+ pound DVR/monitor asross the country for repair.

 

This is a very common failure that kills these units after a couple years of use. Can anyone point me toward the offending component(s) so I can get my power back into spec?

 

Thanks so much! Mike

Have you tried your local TV repair shop??

 

They should be able to figure out the parts for your power supply.

 

Ask around, and see who repairs computer monitors?

Nope. I was sure that someone would have figured this one out since Sentinel and Lorex sold tons of these. If you have any ideas please let me know. I would really appreciate it! Mike
