HR10-250 Overheating

11-06-2009, 07:09 PM

I recently reinstalled my original Tivo Drive due to a drive failure, and have been getting the overheating warning screen. I have a TwinBreeze dual drive bracket that I am not currently using, but was thinking this could help cool down the system and get rid of the overheating issue.

I will only be using one drive installed in the Tivo.

Which location on the TwinBreeze bracket would be best to put drive in a single drive set up? The A location (Over the Motherboard), or the B location (Near the Power supply where drive is originally installed)?

Thank you.

The overheating issue on these units can be caused for lots of reasons beyond actual overheating, including a bad power supply and a bad HDMI card. We can fix the unit in most cases for $149 as a flat-fee, but if you want to do it yourself, you should first try a power supply:

The fan should be on top of the bracket, blowing up.
