  • Black, White, Yellow start up

    I've tried to search and read through the forum but cant find this problem listed.

    Unplug and restart the Tivo
    During the initial power up the screen rolls like bad vertical hold
    first it rolls black and white then
    it starts rolling in black,white, yellow
    after a few minutes pink rolls in also
    this continues until the complete start up routine has finished and it's on live tv. a few minutes later the roll stops and the other colors come in.

    after the funky startup all appears fine until the next restart

    any ideas?

    btw
    this is a TCD649080 I purchased used with a 500 gig maxtor hard drive
    thanks

    Very strange problem, but does the unit actually work after all of the strangeness?

      Yep
      works fine. (after it boots up)
      records on both tuners
      plays media content from my pc

      and
      no it's not the TV I can swith to OTA or Sat and the picture is fine.

        This might not be satisfying, but why fix what is working?

          it worries me

          I'm afraid it may be a symptom of something soon to fail

                Sounds like a motherboard problem to me, but without seeing the unit, I unfortunately could not possibly know for sure.
