chardar 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Hi all. We have had the above DVR for around 2 years now and when i came in this morning i noticed it wasn't writing to the HDD. Happens occasionally.... SO i rebooted it like i always do, only it wouldn't come back on, so i removed the power and left for a couple of mins. Then when i replaced the power all i got was a continuous high pitched noise and no lights... Nothing. Not feeling very hopeful about this one, but any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Kawboy12R 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Sounds like you've been having trouble with your HD lately and it finally died. If I were to guess, I'd think that the bearings or platters were sticking and wouldn't always spin up and now it is screaming a death song. That doesn't quite match with the no lights part though. Mechanical high pitched noise or more of an alarm? I'd yank the cover and see exactly what was making the noise. If HD, then replace it. If the DVR is screeching and has no lights, I'm guessing time for a new DVR unless you're really handy with a multimeter and soldering iron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chardar 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks for the reply and confirms my suspicions.... Its definitely a warning sound not a HD sound.. Me is thinking mainboard failure and time for a new DVR . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
