Hello Tivo enthusiasts,
I have a lifetime subscription to TCD540080 Series 2 when all the video outputs died (coax, s-video, rca's 1 and 2). When powered up, only the green light comes on, fan spins, hard drive clicks, but no video.
I borrowed the power supply from another brand new TCD540080 and that did not fix the problem. It showed the exact same symptoms.
I'm guessing it's the main board. Since I want to preserve my lifetime subscription, any suggestions on how to fix this or which parts to replace? I have a brand new Tivo which I can pull parts from.
If the lifetime subscription is stored on the SST eeprom on the mainboard. Can I maybe unsolder this and move it to a new TIVO box? Or are there other components on the mainboard the subscription is tied to?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
