The DVR Works

Those of you who don’t care about the details of the DVR repair can skip this blog.

Yesterday I found that our DVR had 2 bad capacitors. I removed them and bought replacements.

The ones that are cracked with yellow stuff are the bad boys.

Today I soldered the new ones in and put the unit back together.

..................2 new capacitors are blue

I plugged the thing in and it fired up like it used to. It has 58 hours of open space and 140 programs recorded on the hard drive the last 2 being “Criminal Minds” and the season finale of “Burn Notice” from their first season.

Our plan is to set this unit up in our bedroom because it is by far the easiest to use and has more useful features.
