  • Smart Card problem - reader or card?

    I have a PHILLIPS DSR700 DTV series 2 TIVO that was working like a charm after several years. I moved and it got here fine until it got back into my paws. I hadn't "moved" my DTV service yet, but I was going to just hook up the Tivo to watch some recorded shows. Then I dropped it at least 4'. Bummer.

    After hooking it up the only problem is I get the "insert access card" message. I opened the case and the dark grey part of the card holder that mounts to the board had broken and that was it (one of the 2 pegs that hold it to the board came loose. If I manually hold it in place it still gives me the error.

    Any advice on how to assess what is going on? Could a drop have done anything to the card? Or maybe the move?

    I have a series 1 Tivo too if that would be of any value in troubleshooting.

    Pretty sure you would need to repair your card mount (and any disconnected contact points) if there's any hope of using that unit again.
    That's all there is to it!
