  • Roamio Inconsistent Booting

    I have a Roamio (TCD848000) that does not always boot (POST) when it is plugged in.
    It's completely random. Sometimes when I plug it in, it will boot normally. Other times I just hear the fan but no lights (besides the power light) and nothing on the screen.
    If I unplug and replug the power in and out of it, with a bit of a delay in-between, I can get it to boot at some point.
    It's fine as long as it keeps power to it.

    Any idea what the cause of this is?
    Is it a common issue?

    I've tried swapping power supplies with two know-good ones, but that did not help, so problem must be located on the motherboard I'm guessing but I'm not sure where to start looking.

    Thanks!

    I would have said power supply, but if you're sure the others are good, then that's not it.

    Could be a bad drive - it may be that it can spin-up sometimes, but other times it can't overcome the friction.
    Been here a long time . . .
