After WK upgrade of Drive - STILL locked on Welcome Screen

12-22-2008, 07:15 PM

I have a TIVO - Direct TV DSR704 and just installed the replacement drive from Weaknees. I am still getting the same "Welcome Powering Up..." Screen as I was getting with the old drive. The replacement drive was made based on information in the forums.

Now that the new Drvive is in - Do I need to perform some kind of reboot? Are there buttons to push on the front or remote to do this?

The Front panel has green light.
The Screen is Grey one saying - "Welcome, Powering Up..."
The unit is a Direct Tivo - DSR704

thanks
Frank.

If you are sure you ordered a drive for the proper TiVo model, then you likely have a problem that is not drive-related. The drive was a good bet, because when you are stuck on powering up, it is usually a bad drive....in this situation, though, it sounds like you have something else going on. It could be a bad power supply or a bad motherboard, unfortunately.
