scorpion 0 Posted April 29, 2010 Hello! There is not enough information to resolve your problem. The date problem would point to a bad battery on the bottom side of the PC board. If the DVR is underwarranty then send it back right away. Next would be to perform a hardware reset: http://scorpiontheater.com/reset.aspx If this does not fix your problem then you have more problems with the DVR then you can fix. It may have a bad oscillator that is sending a bad closk signal? Can you see live video OK? Is it only the recorded images that are bad? Can you see good video on a computer? I am trying to determine if some parts of the video process is good, and a later circuit is bad, or if all points of video are bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion 0 Posted April 29, 2010 It sounds like a chips is going bad, or an oscillator circuit is going out. The only other problem might me lack of cooling? Is the DVR in a tight space? Can you add a fan to flow more air? Can you put the DVR out in to the open to see if it runs better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
