    You saved me! Ours turned off and would not even power on. I started shopping for a new Lorex DVR, when I came across your video. Just like you said, all I had to do was go through our myriad of extra cords to find one that fit. The DVR powered on immediately and we could see all of our cameras! I cannot thank you enough.

    Thank you for posting this! Our old 480p wireless Lorex DVR quit in a similar fashion, I think right after a power outage. I tested the power supply and it showed proper voltage, but after watching your video I was skeptical still and tried a different 12V power supply (a little lower amperage) and that confirmed exactly what your experienced. These 12V power supplies seem to be prone to dying after a power outage. I'm ordering another one on eBay as I am typing this. I'm glad I was able to revive our system and save myself the $800 price tag of buying a brand new system now. It's only a deterrent for us anyway and we don't actually rely on being able to get license plates and facial recognition from our system. Thank you for sharing this quick and cheap fix!

    So, bottom line, we learned that you did not actually need to remove a single screw, because only the external power supply was shot. Thank you for the time-saving tip. In my case, after trying TWO different power supply replacements, the HDD came alive. In the mean time, I had swapped the HDD cables to another disk and found the same problem ("No HDD", in system display). This lead me to "cut my losses" and unpack my BACKUP unit (Swann brand). The power supply for that one was same as Lorex, so I tried it, before disconnecting anything else, and now it all works. Problem solved. Thanks again.

    I have a N841A8. Got a notification on my phone that the device is offline. Found it powered off. Checked power supply, it read 48.5V (rated at 48V 2A output). Opened the device and saw a momentary fan action when connected supply and also struggling LEDs. When measured voltage on board, saw severe fluctuation. Called Lorex, they suggested to buy a new NVR. Googled for logic board and found this video. Opened the supply, checked the 100uF 450V cap and it was bad. I had a 180uF, 450V lying around from one of my audio project (tube phono-amp). Replaced cap and its alive. Thanks for sharing. Interestingly we did have a power outage recently. Looks like Lorex has this issue for years now.

      Can you please describe more of the issue and how you resolved it? I have the same NVR that has failed. Taken it apart but I am not sure what the 100uF, 450v is that you describe, is that a capacitor or resistor, and which was it, where on the board?

    • @NichoTBE
      @NichoTBE 9 місяців тому

      Is it the capacitor on the edge of the board, i get no consistency when testing pins on bottom of board with a multi meter but the other capacitor does have consistency.

      @@NichoTBE Not the NVR, you will have to open the power adapter. Check the o/p of the power adapter, how many volts you see when unconnected to the NVR. Mine read 48.5V but when connected with NVR and measured on the NVR board, didn't get the desired voltage.

      @@kunwar030477prashant NVR adapter shows 48.1v when not connected. Not sure how to test it when connected but there is a yellow/orange flashing LED near the power port on the pcb. The amps on my multi showed 0.6a when power brick not connected to the unit. Says output it should be 2amps. What do you recommend?

      @kunwar030477prashant 9 місяців тому +1

      @@NichoTBE You can measure the operating voltage on the board under the female terminal where the male connector from the power adapter connects, while the NVR is ON. You will see the +/- soldering points. Fixing the adapter is alightly cumbersome. You will have to cut it open, take out the board, desolder old cap and solder new one and then glue it back. Cap I had was tad bigger so mine didn't close properly and I used electrical tape. Instead easy way out is, order a 48V/2A adapter online. Last I checked the adapter was $18-20 while the cap alone was $7-8. If there is a higher amp adapter available for lesser price, go for it. Voltage at 48V is must, amp greater than equal 2A as current is drawn by load while voltage maintained across the terminal.

  • @allanhadad9883
    @allanhadad9883 6 років тому

    Thank you very much. You saved me a lot of $$$. I checked the voltage of my power supply and it still shows 12.0 Volts. But I suspect under a load it will not be 12 Volts. I found a spare car battery in the garage and hooked it up directly with some wires and a barrel connector I cut off another charger. It came right on and is working perfectly again. Luckily I discovered this after only a few days. There is an electronics surplus store nearby with a box of hundreds of power supplies for only $1.00 each. I'll be there tomorrow digging through the box. Maybe I'll buy a couple of spares.

I was going to order a new system and just keep the camera's as extras since its cheaper just to buy a new set since they are on sale. The newer version of this system is 299 on Lorex website. I was like You Tube has helped me fix alot of issues, so why not. Your video was the first that popped in my search. THANK YOU!!! I had an newer Netgear Cable Modem that i dont use since we just got a new provider and I used Ac Cable from that. Powered Right Up!! You just saved me $300.

    Sir,
    I wanted to take a moment and say thanks. Like you have a knowledge of electronics and feel comfortable working on them but if a board component need replacing I will leave that up to the pros. I had a similar issue with my system from Costco. The power came on but the board, determined later was under powered by a failing power block. After removing the cover to my system, I observed the board fan turning very slow & HD not spinning up. A quick search on Goggle and pow your UA-cam post came up. I had an extra power block from an old system and poof the unit powered up and functioning like new. Thank you for your time in recording and posting your information in regards to the Lorex DVR systems.

  • @condor5635
    @condor5635 Місяць тому

    Thanks for posting. Mine is Exact same issue this morning. My cameras are newer (5 years old from Costco). Camera was totally dead and I immediately tested directly the power supply (mine is 48VDC). It has 48VDC. This is directly coming from the plug with multimeter once connected to the center pin on the plug and one on the outer metal. So I assume it is getting 48VDC to the unit although there might be a failure that causes 48VDC to be available but in actuality it might not be able to supply what is needed due to whatever. So now I will take out the inside stuff and do some more diagnostics.

Also, don't use a 9 volt power supply because the lower the voltage is, the higher the amps drawn are. It may exceed the amp rating of the circuitry on the board.
