What do I do with this Q-See 518?

Recommended Posts

I have this DVR sitting here with no clue as to what to do. I was hoping someone can give me some advice before I junk what may just need fixing or maybe a link to what others have done with the same problems. I am stuck at the "Waiting" screen which hangs forever so far. I tried replacing the HDDs but that didn't help. I read that it might be the firmware but if so how do I reinstall if I get no boot. I was actually thinking of replacing the main board which doesn't seem that hard. I've built many computers so if I could find a replacement I'd give it a try. I think this device cost me plenty and I'm actually thinking of taking everything down and getting a dog, after all that's what I think of Q-See right about now. Has anyone ever located and replaced a main board on a DVR that can tell me it isn't really all that big of a deal or maybe someone knows how to fix this one.

Thanks to anyone who responds.

To all that are so eagerly waiting to see what happens next, I located and ordered a Mico-ATX PSU and will see if this gives me a fix.

 

You're welcome.
