  • TCD 648250B Ownership and repairs

    I was given a Tivo HD Series 3, model no. TCD 648250B cause it was not working.

    It has a lifetime account.

    I have a new hard drive and power supply on order and it should be here tomorrow.

    Once I get this thing repaired what do I need to do or change to make the account see my name? Or is there anything I need to do to adjust the lifetime account at all?

    The power supply as a few bulging caps but none leaking yet, can I try the new hard drive with the old power supply first to see if the power supply still works or can it possible hurt the new hard drive?

    I would like to repair the old power supply with new caps and return the new one for credit if possible.

    Please advise.

    Thanks
    Mike

    Bulging caps aren't good - even if it seems to work, it'll have long-term problems.

    For the account, just get it up and running and configured for your house. Then call TiVo, and they'll move the account over to your name.
    Been here a long time . . .
