    Black screen after installing fan and drive

    I bought a 160gb harddrive and a replacement fan for my series2 Tivo from weaknees. After following the instructions on install, I carefully plugged everything back up but I don't get a blue screen or any type of setup screen.... just a black screen.

    Any suggestions, PLEASE?

    Do you get lights on the front of the unit? Could the power supply be disconnected?

    Could your TV be set to the wrong input?
    Been here a long time . . .

      i double checked connections and it seems to be okay. i do get a green light on the front of the tivo.

      * update....

      i thought it might have been a harddrive issue (not having software installed, not in master, etc), so i put back my original 80gb drive and i'm having the same black screen problem, however there is a red light that came on an hour later as if it is recording something.

      PLEASE HELP!

        It sounds like a wiring problem from the TiVo to the TV, or possibly that you're watching the TV on the wrong input. Is that possible?
