Neutech 0 Posted July 31, 2011 I've seen plenty of DVR's show HDD faults, a few were faulty HD but most were PSU faults, The PSU had enough power to run the DVR but not the HD When you say you tried a new HD was it indeed new? I'd change the PSU and try that and see what happens Sorry my knowledge of AVTECH has only been at a level of removing them to replace Hope you get sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
