I just did the Bumwine upgrade to the Seagate 750 - everything seemed to go smoothly, put the case back on, plugged it in and absolutely nothing. No lights, fan doesn't spin, no humming - just dead! Is there some sort of breaker I could have tripped? Everything seemed to go very smoothly - no dropped screws or anything - just 100% dead now.

Update: Spoke with TiVo - they could not really offer any solutions - so I exchanged at my local CircuitCity (within the 30 day window). Of course, the dd's drive caused an error 51 in the new machine - so I had to do a full erase. Glad I watched most of my key saved episodes last night. Also glad that all this happened within the 30 day period.

The in rush current to spin up the drive may be shutting down the power supply. Unplug the drive and see if it powers up.
