After many years of working, my XVR4104C by Dahua started showing an issue: it started beeping. The webUI shows the error No HDD.

A broken HDD could be the cause after many year of continuous activity, so I purchased a fresh new SATA WD Purple 1TB HDD. However, the issue of No HDD is still present after replacing the HDD.

I tried the new HDD on a desktop PC and it seems working perfectly. I tried to replaced SATA cable, without success. I couldn't try another power cable, because it is Dahua custom and I don't have another one.

Any suggestion on what happend? The firmware is the original one, so it's very old. I don't know if a firmware upgrade could solve the HDD issue, maybe before replacing the DVR it's worth a try. Do you know where I can find the new firmware of XVR4104C?
