I must have the worst luck on earth with DirecTV. It seems like every time I turn around something is broken, needs updating or I have to “call the service center regarding your subscription.” The latest is my Tivo giving up the ghost… No power light, no waiting screen, just the quiet hum of the fan and darkness…
I tried checking the power with my digital voltmeter and got both +5v and +12v from the PS to HDD connector. This only leaves the motherboard power which I could not find really reliable information on. After consulting Google for awhile it turns out my symptoms may still be the PS. So I ordered a new power supply from Weaknees. (great company, quick and painless ordering online)
I guess we will just have to wait and see how this one turns out…
