I just got this dahua nvr from aliexpress and smelt a burnt smell on power up, is this an insta return or is it more of a superficial thing and i should ask for a partial refund?
the top of the motherboard is fine but underneath...

normally i would return straight away but getting this system up asap has been a big priority as my shop has had its windows broken twice in 2 weeks by some little shit doing drivebys in the area

Given the proximity to the backup battery I'd make some settings changes, shut down, disconnect the power for a while, then power up again and check the settings have held.

All that said, I'd not want to keep anything which has done that.

Cheers, Steve

AliExpress is like eBay... It will vary by seller
