Remote control

10-23-2008, 11:13 AM

Hi
I have a Dsr704 Phillips upgraded to 2 hard drives. it has worked great for years. Now when it boots up i can change channels for about 5 minutes then the remote no longer changes the channel. So i reboot the system again and the same.The remote is good, the remote light on the front of tivo turns amber every time.i took it apart the DVR and cleaned,it i cannot find any obvious problems.Any help would be great. i suspect something is heating up and failing but what?.
Thanks

When you can't change channels with the remote, do the buttons on the front panel work?

No, the front panel does not work either.

You can try new faceplate:

and that might do the trick. Or you could send it to us for a diagnosis and potential motherboard repair. But if it just happened one day when you weren't inside the unit, then it's likely to just be the faceplate.

Been here a long time . . .
