OK yeah Im a total dumb ass :( I added a second drive to my hr10-250 with no trouble. Everything was great until the dumbass that I am tried to put the cover back on while it was running. Of course the cover touched the heatsink on the power supply then died. It shot a spark out and the tivo died :( No power at all to the the unit.

Do you think its just the power supply on the tivo that got fried or the systemboard.
If its just the powersupply I can just order another one.

Here is a picture. You can see where it touched the corner of the heatsink.

Couldn't hurt to check for a blown fuse on the power supply.

In that shrink tube this side of the toroisal choke, it seems, or at least somewhere around the input jack.
