ou812 0 Posted July 19, 2013 Today I shut a power strip that the dvr was plugged into by accident and I immediately turned it back on. Now the dvr beeps for about 5 seconds then the red LED on the mainboard blinks 4 times then it stays on steady for 5 seconds then goes off and the fan comes on and that's it. I took the power supply board out. removed the main board and the back board where the cameras connect and I got it to boot once. When I tried to connect the ir plug back in the back of the unit so I could shut it down the proper way by entering the 4 zeros via the remote, but I must have bumped something and it shut down on it's own. I put everything back together and it went back to doing the same thing. It starts the 5 second beep as soon as I touch the power supply plug into the power board. I think I was able to hard reset it once before I got it to start that one time. I couldn't get it to hard reset again, if I am in fact doing this the right way. I checked the power across the power supply plug, the power board, and the plug going to the hard drive and I am aple to get the proper voltage across the pins. I also have a ide to sata converter and there is a green led and a red led lit. I noticed that the red light was not lit when it booted up. I tried everything including a different hard drive, booting without a hard drive, booting with an ide hard drive without the ide-sata adapter and it still does the same thing - 5 second beep; 4 blinks of the led light; led goes out and the fan comes on and the green/red led's come on the ide/sata adapter. Nothing else happens. I don't believe it's the power supply because I get voltage and it did boot once during all this. Anyone know what the 5 second beep followed by the 4 led blinks mean? I would really appreciate the help as I need this to record the next few days. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
