  • TiVo MINI - Green Screen Reboot Loop

    I could really use some help here.

    I'm familiar with hard drive failures leading to TiVo green screens of death, but this is happening on a TiVo Mini, so there is no hard drive involved. For a long time now the TiVo Mini has been booting to the blue 'starting up' screen, then the black 'almost there' screen, but immediately lands on a green screen indicating a 'serious problem'. It's not exactly the same error as standard TiVo hard drive failure, but it does give the three hour fix timeframe. However, all it does is go through this cycle (45 seconds or so in total) and repeat over and over.

    Can anybody shed some light on what issues could cause the attached green screen on a TiVo Mini?

    Apologies for the sideways picture, I'm doing this from mobile.

    Just an update for those who may be dealing with the same thing. I wasn't given any solution, but got a better-than-usual offer on an out-of-warranty replacement so I just went that route instead.

      Very interesting - could your power adapter be part of the problem?

      If you get a replacement, try using that power adapter with the old unit and see what you get.
      Been here a long time . . .
