Hi everyone,

I’m seeking guidance to resolve a critical boot failure with my Hikvision DS-96256 NVR. Despite troubleshooting, the system remains unresponsive, and I’d appreciate insights from the community.



Problem Summary

  • Symptoms:
    • NVR fails to boot (no display via HDMI, network ports inactive).
    • Front panel buttons do not respond.
    • Two red LEDs lit on the motherboard (location: near CPU/power section).
  • Troubleshooting Attempted:
    • Checked CMOS battery and fan – both functional.
    • Disconnected all HDDs – no change.
    • Tried hardware reset button (no response).
