I came home and found my 80 hour series 2 Tivo with all the lights on in front, the left glowing green and amber and the right one glowing red and amber and the video was blank. It won't reboot after unplugging and re-plugging it but I think I hear the hard drive spinning or it could be the fan, so it's not dead, dead.
I guess the first thing is if anyone knows what this means. Hard drive, power supply?
The next thing is I also have a 40 series 2 Tivo. Can I swap the hard drive from my dead Tivo to my 40 hour one to see if it's the hard drive and if it's not, to try to rescue the shows from it to my PC via Tivo to go. If I just move the hard drive over will the working Tivo boot up from the larger hard drive and allow me to access my shows?
Thanks for any help in advance.
