I have a DirecTivo SD-DVR120 that I put a WK expansion kit (160 GB) in when it was new in 2003. After 5 years of use, it sat for two years. We just got it out and got a new access card for it. Everything was fine before and after activating the card, then after sitting overnight, the image was frozen on a picture and the unit would not respond to the remote or the front panel buttons.
After pulling power and trying to reboot, it now is stuck on "Powering up...". It has video and some of the panel lights are on.
Looks like the drive failed after being on overnight.
I have another DirecTiVo HDVR-2 with 32 hours capacity that will power up, but the card is not active. Since my good access card is keyed to the motherboard in my dead unit, would the drive from the HDVR-2 work in the SD-DVR120 to check out the rest of the unit before ordering a replacement drive?
Thanks!
