3. Install hard drive and put hard drive close to your ear to check if you can hear some noise. One hour later, use hand to touch hard drive to check if it is warm. If you can not hear any sound and surface of hard drive is not warm, it can prove hard drive is not even powered up. Please share us result.

4. Unplug DVR or NVR from power and plug again.

5. restore DVR or NVR to factory setting.

6. Change an adapter of DVR.

7. Try a spare DVR or HDD if you have.
