I have a Sony T60 that has been in constant usage since 2001. WOW!!!! A few weeks ago, I lost power during a storm and got the "Powering up" screen, thinking it's finally dead. I unplugged the unit, burned some candles and was prepared for burial but thought maybe it needed to reset. I search the forums with no success. I plugged it back end and held various combinations of buttons and it powered up fine after a few attempts. Back in business until last week when my power cycled about 5X's. While I had live tv, I powered it down to prevent any issues. A few hours later plugged it back in and now can get past the PU Screen. I ordered and installed a new power supply from Weeknees and also had to replace my fan as it was also dead. I believe that my unit has overheated in the past due to the fan being out of service.

Is it my drive??? I hate to keep guessing and buying parts. I have a RCA DVR 80 unit that I inherited. The RCA has a Maxor drive and my T-60 has a Quantum drive. I would like to upgrade to a bigger drive but before I sink anymore $$ into my Series 1 T60 I was curious if I could swap the drive to rule out the potential bad drive.

Any suggestions?
