    upgrade problems

    Tivo was stuck on gray "welcome, powering up" screen. Ordered new harddrive and installed, now there is no power to the tivo. When I plugged it back in there was no signs of power, no lights just a tiny little sound from inside, like something turning. Help, did I just waste money on a harddrive for no reason?

    Thanks

    P.S. ITs a Phillips DSR704

    Carefully check the cable running from the power supply to the TiVo's motherboard.

      Checked connections, everything is tight. But back together still nothing, just a tiny little sound inside like a watch turning.

      Originally the problem seemed to be a hardware problem. Does a power supply problem cause the gray powering up screen as well? My original harddrive is 40gb and the new one is 320.

          Is the ticking gone? If not, you have a short somewhere and/or a bad power supply.

              You should probably email us with your order number so that we can see for sure that you ordered the right part for your model and situation.
              Been here a long time . . .
