I am asking this here as I am hoping someone with a 4DTV or other Motorola setup might have seen this.
I own (not lease) a SC Motorola DSR401. I purchased it off fleabay for $25. When I plug it in all the lights come on.....and then nothing. If I unplug and replug, sometimes no lights come on.
Yes, it might be a boat anchor - The Canadian I purchased it from said they had no way to test it - they only knew the lights came on.
I can see the battery is not firmly set - in fact its very loose. I remember the issues in the C Band Motorola 922 series and people talking about replacing batteries - thus I would like to reset the battery before I junk this.
It has some time of Motorola security screws on it. I would take a picture but I have not been able to get a hi res closeup with a digital camera (cameras never were my thing and I borrowed this one for a week).
I have tried everything to get a grip on these screws to get them out. They are too small to get a good grip on with a wrench. They have no repeating form on them that I can tell - more like a rock formation that with small valleys (think ayers rock on a small scale).
Does anyone know how to get these s.o.b.s out of this unit?
