I have the RuiLinXin DVR207 bought in July 2013. Unit turns on when power applied but immediately turns off every time. Is it too late for help?

Richard,I have the same problem with mine and the only way I was able to fix it is to remove the battery. Also make sure you format the SD card which I have done when the screen goes black and the unit turn off. Read more about the problem in this website. Lots of information regarding dash cam. http://dashcamtalk.com/I ended up buying a G1W and been very happy with it. It is cheaper than the DVR207.

I don't know why they (Amazon) keeps asking me about this item. I never received this item. No one knows what happened after it was supposedly shipped from China. I am more careful about not ordering anything that ships directly from China. It took quite a while to conclude this order.

It's a problem with the machine. It would do that whenever mine went to sleep and started up again. I tried everything, and talked to everyone with no success. I returned it. I got the V5-552PG-x809 when it went down to $669 and it is incredible. Everything works as it should.

Hello, it sounds like the unit has accidentally been set with the "Screen Saver" mode on. TO FIX: - With the unit on, but not recording, click on the MENU button two times (you should see the little wrench highlighted at the top) - Use the down arrow button to go down until you see "Screen Saver", click on the "RECORD" button to select Screen Saver. - Use the up or down arrows to go to the "OFF" selection and click on the "RECORD" button. (this is where it may have previously been set to 3 minutes) - Now click on the MENU button again to exit. The screen should no longer shut off while recording and with power.

Unfortunately you have not provided enough info on your problem. In general, if it is a hardware problem, like it no longer turns on, it is not worth spending my on repairing these gadgets as it would be more money fixing them than buying a new one. If it is a configuration problem, then you can download user manual from the web or if you have backed up your unit, then reload your old configuration.

Hi Christa, thank you for your interest in Levana. The camera would go out in a power outage, since the camera has a switch that slides to the on and off position it will turn back on as soon as your power is restored.

Every time you turn it on. Now if you just pause or stop recording then start up again, there is no warning.

That was one of my concerns too. I just unplug it. There is no indication in the book. I've tried holding down the reset button. Doesn't work.

I agree with the previous response. If you know the outlet is good and its fully plugged in and you push the on button and nothing happens most likely the power supply in the unit is bad. Time to return it.....

You might try unplugging the unit from the wall socket , wait a few minutes then plug it back up.

From what you say once program is scheduled you have to leave the DVR turned on. I found this to be true also. If someone knows a way of turing it off after scheduling I would like to know as well.

It may be time to replace your back-up, look into CyberPower. They offer many different sizes to fit your needs. I put these at each computer and TV's/DVR also, as they protect from brown-out or complete outage.

I'm also in the same problem. Anyone have A home repair solution? Prior to this I had the power on problem which was solved by upgrading some blown capacitors.

I have to RMA this unit , it has a lot of Volume errors. This is an older hdd with ide interface first thing you have to do is check the interface of your dvr if its ide or sata. Good luck.

Make sure tfirst that your outlet or breaker for the outlet is reset and that you have power. also see if anything else in the house was blown. power going off and on should not hurt the unit. A power surge would. I am not sure about the fusing of the system but I assume there is one in the internal transformer. Since I do not know your expertise I am not sure what to recommend but if you are not a technician and the unit has been plugged into a live outlet then take it to a local radio or electronics shop and have them look at the power supply.

had the same question, i'm glad to hear it works with a 722. i'm debating between this and older toshiba with a power on/off switch (might be better for dvr longevity). does this hd power down when not in use. i also like that this has a 3 yr warranty.

Try the reset procedure--unplug for 10 minutes. I've not had this problem with this model.
