Infant Optics DXR-8: Freezing after a short while

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 10:08:43 -0700

The monitor will power on and allow switching between the cameras ( I have 2 ), for about a minute or two. Then the image on the screen will freeze, it will go silent, and become completely unresponsive to any button presses, including the power button. The only way I can get it to snap out of if is to pull the battery. Any repair suggestions?

Infant Optics DXR-8: Power supply isn't providing the monitor power

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 10:32:35 -0700

I'm having issues with my Infant Optics DXR-8 Baby Monitor.

My daughter knocked the monitor off a high shelf. I turned the monitor on, everything looked and worked fine. Later that night, while the monitor was plugged in and on, the low battery alarm started going off. I realized that the battery had not been charging even though the monitor was plugged in. For some reason, power from the wall (5VDC I think?) is not making it into the monitor, most likely (in my opinion) because something broke loose when the monitor fell. Has anyone had a similar issue? I'm going to open it up tonight and see if I can see anything obvious, hopefully I'll just need to resolder a lead, but I'm looking to see if anyone has any ideas if there isn't an obvious issue.

Flipping through the other questions on this site, I realized a lot of these monitors are USB charging. This monitor isn't USB, it's a 3.5 mm jack (or similar, maybe slightly smaller).

Infant Optics DXR-8: Where can I buy a replacement charging port?

My monitor has a loose charging port. Where can I buy a replacement port to solder back onto the motherboard if the existing one needs to be replaced?

This unit uses the flat port, not pin port.

Infant Optics DXR-8: External battery charger available?

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 09:05:18 -0700

Of course the charging port has broken on this monitor. Does anyone know of a simple external charger that I could buy to charge the battery when drained. Repair not worth the cost

Infant Optics DXR-8: Can I pair a camera with 2 receivers?

Wed, 10 Jan 2018 18:07:54 -0700

I know in the manual, it says that each camera can only be paired with on monitor (screen/receiver) at a time. We did not know this, and purchased a second kit with both a camera and a monitor. It would be nice for my wife and I to each have one when we are in different parts of the house. Do any tech savvy folks out there know of a work-around so that we can pair a camera with both monitors at the same time? I thought perhaps we could somehow "trick" them into all running on the same frequency or something. Thanks!
