  • problem: shows only black screen w/ power light on

    I have two tivo's now. My first tivo (B) had a problem after a while and so I put it away in a box and bought a new tivo (A) and now after 6 months that one has a problem too.

    (A My tivo series 2 has a problem. My tivo powers on (the green light on the front of the box comes on)....but all I see is a black screen. Does anyone know what this is?

    (B My other tivo series 2 has a problem. It would reboot all the time. You could be watching a recorded show and then it turns off and reboots itself. Multiple times. Or it would be recording and then turn itself off and reboot itself. Does anyone know what this is?

    Thanks.

    B could have a bad hard drive or a bad motherboard.

    A could have a bad power supply or a bad motherboard. Unfortunately none of the symptoms are 100% consistent with one issue or another.

    Do you have lifetime service on either box? You might consider a flat-fee repair:
