Last night my electricity went out for a while. After the power came
back on my TIVO would no longer work (yes, it is on a surge protector).
Now all I get is a black screen. The green LED does come on, and I
can feel a vibration, either the fan or HD. When I use the remote, the
front panel LEDs respond, but nothing else happens, no sound or video.
I have tried unplugging it and still the same thing, nothing at all. It
is a series 2, with a second HD added.
Any ideas on A) what the problem is and B) what my option are. I am
assuming that with the second drive added, TIVO won't do anything for
it. I just purchased a lifetime subscription for this unit recently, so
I really can't just replace it.
I am comfortable with opening the unit and working on it if I have an
idea of what the problem actually is, such as the power supply or HD,
for example.
Any ideas will be GREATLY appreciated, as I am very spoiled by my TIVO
and can't imagine life without it, as I am sure you all understand.
Thanks in advance,
Doug S.
