XVision HD Pro CCTV Fault

[Strima]

I have a customer who has a XVision HD Pro CCTV system that now fails to boot. It's a few years old and I have cleaned a lot of dust out of the system.

It will only get to 99% on the power up screen then dumps out and cycles through it's start up routine.

I have replaced the MB button battery as it's often a cheap fix but still have the same problem.

I suspect the hard drive has had it, unless anyone has any other tips before I replace it?

If you have tried switching it on and off again and hit it with a hammer then my fault finding skills are exhausted.

That was my first method.

... my fault finding skills are exhausted.

Mine will be if you have tried unplugging the hard-disk and see if it moans.
(can still be a weak power supply -just unable to run whole system .... )
But there may be pieces of straw hanging out of my mouth !
(no experience with that model)

Everything powers up as it should, I do have a spare PSU lying around so I'll try running it from that.

Def worth a try, we have had a few DVR problems caused by SMPSs on their last legs.
