Hi all,

The operating system on my Lorex DVR appears to be corrupt and won't get past the welcome screen on startup. Am I right in thinking that the OS is installed on the circuit board of the DVR and not the hard drive, and is it possible to re-install the OS/firmware from a USB stick?

Thanks for any help.

Jon.

That is correct - the operating system is not on the hard drive.

Depending on where in the process it is hanging up, you may be able to use the USB, but probably will have to do something else like thru a serial connection to try to get a firmware on it.

List the model of the unit and maybe someone has experience with that particular unit.

Thank you, yes, good point! The model is LOREX LHV2108. It's quite old now, not even any support for it on the Lorex website. It's hanging on the startup screen, stays like that for a few minutes, then reboots and continues this cycle.
