Q-See NVR won't boot.

Recommended Posts

QC828 POE NVR was running pretty flawless for about five years but quit recently and won't boot.

 

Tried w/o hard drive, with two different hard drives, checked both NVR and camera power supplies, nothing on the board look fried and the caps look new. Fan comes on and hard drive spins up but no "beep" and nothing on HDMI output or video out. Can't access through Smart PSS, no video.

 

Ideas?

Your hard drive is dead. That’s about how long those cheap Costco systems last (if you are lucky). They probably didn’t use a surviallance level hard drive and the thing finally just crapped out. No hard drive, no operating system, no OS no boot.

Thanks for the reply but I was told by Q-See support (and read) it should boot w/o the hard drive.

 

Apparently it's a re-branded Dahua. Is it possible to re-load the firmware if it doesn't boot?
