    You are better off replacing the dvr....

    Here is a 720p (TVI) unit with double the resolution as 960h...includes 720p cameras and should accept your old analog cams as well.

    Includes hard drive, three year warranty and costco's lifetime return policy.

    This unit is also hd, and should also accept your old cameras (but since its cvi, double check with qsee)...

    First two will likely be cheaper than the board (if you can even get one) and hard drive...

     

    Thanks. I was able to get a refurbished DRV9-4200 from Swann for $149.

     

    When the new one arrives I'll duplicate the hard drive and send my original in for them to quote me a refurb. I was trying to do too many things at once yesterday and whacked the OS on the original disk. Doesn't seem to be any actual problem with the hard drive.

    Hello,

     

    My Swann DVR9-4200 started reporting HDD Error repeatedly and stopped recording any streams. I initialized the disk several times with no change. Eventually, the DVR stopped recognizing the disk at all. Well when I opened the case, it turns out that a capacitor leaked over at least 1 diode on the PCB. Anyone know where I can get a replacement TCMB03 v110? Also, I want to change the hard drive. Will I need copy a disk image onto it or is the base OS in EEPROM on this system?

     

    The system is several months out of warranty.

     

    Thanks,

    Eric
