I have an RCA DVR-80. It stays on the Welcome Powering Up screen for several minutes, then the screen goes black for a second and then it goes back to the Welcome screen. Cycle repeats.
Thinking it was the drive, I imaged a good drive and put it in. Same behavior. But since I had the box open when I tested the new drive, I could hear what was happening. After plugging it in, I can hear the drive crunching (the good crunching sound) like it's working and booting. When the screen goes black, I hear both the drive and the fan lower in speed - as if they suddenly weren't getting sufficient voltage. So I'm guessing that when the Tivo is ready to turn on the video, the power supply isn't up to the task. Sound reasonable? Should I order a new power supply?
Thanks.
