HR10 - Frozen - Didn't Power Back Up

[o2manyfish]

Hey Guys,

My HR10 is about 16 months old. It is all original. No mods, no tweaks. It has performed as expected and is used quite heavily.

This morning when I turned on the TV the screen was frozen, with a 1/2 full recording bar showing.

I tried everything on the remote, but got no response.

I finally unplugged the unit. I plugged it back it and nothing happened. The vent fan in the back was blowing, but no noise from the TIVO, and not a single light turned on on the front of the unit.

I unplugged and plugged it back in several times with no response.

I unplugged it for an hour and still nothing. I unplugged it one more time, and this time when I plugged it in the Powering Up screen showed up and several minutes later the TIVO is running just fine again.

If this was a Drive issue, when I plugged the unit back in I should have gotten the Power LED to light up on the front, and something on the screen.... Shouldn't I ?


Any thoughts guys... Should I pick up a new unit, pick up a new drive, or just keep the fingers crossed ?

Thank you

Dave

It doesn't sound like a drive problem. You 'should' get the 'powering up' screen before the drive even starts being read.
