My 7 year old TIVO Series 2 can't get past the Welcome Powering Up screen. I know I can try a KickStart on it. Trouble is I never get the series of lights that are supposed to come up on the front of the TIVO. I get the green light on the The left light blinks yellow at the bottom half briefly. Then solid green. Right light never comes on. Not sure how to enter the KickStart process. I tried just holding and realeasing the Pause button, but can;t get it to do what it's supposed to for a KickStart. I must be doing something wrong but don;t know what. .

I would really like to try and get this TIVO working so I can get the programs off it. I've just had a string of bad luck with both of my TIVOs. I had a 6 month old Premiere as well .Recently its hard drive completely went to Digital Heaven. The Premiere was still under warranty, so TIVO has replaced it. Lost all the programming on it, but some I had on TIVO desktop. Though I had all of it on TIVO desktop, but I didn't. The rest was on the Series 2. Some of it is stuff that I couldn't easily replace. Movies that were shown on TV but aren't on DVD.
