  • Please help with my Series 3 HD unit is dead

    Hi I have a series 3 HD unit that was used rarely in a second bedroom. One day I noticed the clock was dead so I put my hand on top of the tivo and it was burning up hot to the touch.

    I checked inside and noticed the fan was dead all the lights were dead the only thing working was the hard drive. I could hear it spinning. No out put whatsoever.

    I was hoping it was power supply so I took my second same model tivo and plugged its power supply into the dead tivo. No change!

    So my question is am I pretty much screwed? This is a lifetime unit so I need to know if it can be fixed or is the mother board fried. Thanks in advance to whoever can help.

    I'd suggest you start by inspecting the power supply for blown capacitors, see:
