  • Roamio Plus in some weird rebooting loop

    I have a roamio plus that hasn't worked properly since a nearby lightning strike. It seems to output the "Almost there, just a few minutes more" screen about once per minute and then it goes black. There is no obvious power up screen. It only appears to output on the component video -- it appears that the hdmi doesn't work at all.

    Is it worth trying to fix this (to preserve the lifetime service) or am I hosed? I do have another drive that came out of a series 3 (I got a replacement drive when my series 3 died, but it turned out to be bad capacitors which I then replaced -- leaving me with a spare drive).

    Recommendations?

    Thanks

    That sounds like both a bad drive and a bad HDMI port.

    Unfortunately, we cannot fix the HDMI port on Roamios.

    For the drive, you could try a new drive kit from here:

      Thanks for this -- I ran the WD self test on the drive, and it failed doing one of the read tests. I'm getting a new drive.... I also got a Tivo Mini in the hope that I can use it as an HDMI front end.....

        Sounds like a good plan.
