I just had a Bolt failure last week. I bought it in early 2016 (Sept 2015 build date). After the house power was turned off and on, the BOLT came up with all the front LEDs blinking. I think this indicates a hard drive failure. As others noted, the unit always ran quite hot, not good for hard drives. After trying a few things, Tivo customer service replaced the unit for a fee. I didn't have an extended warranty.

Now trying to figure out how to go back to the Tivo Classic interface.

Thanks so much, that worked. Regarding the reliability, I'm planning to put a USB fan on the unit.

Were you doing anything to cool your Bolt that failed? Were you using power saver feature?

Just the power saver feature, set to medium. It was in a 2'x3' cabinet with an open front and it gets a bit hot in there, along with the tuning adapter.
