  • Directtivo hughes sd40 died

    My trusty directv tivo Hughes sd40 seems to have died. Lately been getting a pixelatedpicture, jumpy picture and sound.

    This morning I got nothing. The fan is running. No lights on and no picture obviously.

    Opened up unit(since years ago I expanded capacity) with weeknees hard drive.

    I notice slight sparking or arcing when I plug unit in at power cord connector.

    Is that a bad power cord? connector? or power supply?

    Just wanted to check before I order from weeknees.

    Thanks

    Sounds like a bad power supply to me, but getting a new power cord also is probably a good idea.

    Power supplies are here:
