Help!! Tried to upgrade my DirecTV HD DVR HR10-250 with two drives.
Used Instant Cake using a Seagate 500Gb and Seagate 400Gb drives.
Instant Cake worked great and looked o.k. until I installed in Tivo and
plugged it in! It would not fire up no lights etc. so I took it apart again
to see why, It seemed to not have enough power, I hooked up original
250Gb drive and worked fine, I thought maybe Power Supply was weak?
Got a new Power Supply with same issue, then I noticed some smoke!
the "A" drive 500GB shorted out and burt something out!! Do not know
why? I tried again with 400Gb and 250 Gb Seagates again, This time
same thing again "A" drive burnt out again!! So now with two brand new
Drives Shorted out I was very confused as to what is happening! So this
time I used original 250Gb drive "Maxtor" with a 250Gb Seagate using the
original Maxtor as "A" drive and everything worked fine!!!! Now unit is working
but still don't know what happened and if I can warranty two burnt drives???
Any help is appreciated as I don't want this to happen again!!
Thanks for any help,
Marcel
