  • Humax DVD Series 2 keeps restarting with brand new Weakness drive installed

    My Humax DVR Series 2 began an endless cycle of restarting spontaneously. I ran all the reboots and tests; nothing helped. I looked at the Weaknees site, which said the problem was almost certainly a dying hard disk. I bought a replacement from Weaknees and installed it.

    The new drive seems to work fine. It contacted Tivo, brought down all the info; setup looked fine. However, now, less than a day later, the recycling has begun again.

    If the problem isn't the drive, what is it? The drive was $169.

    Could there be a disc in your DVD drive?

      No, it's empty.

        If you don't have a DVD stuck and if it's still rebooting, then you obviously have some other problem. It could be a power supply or a bad motherboard, and/or a short in the unit that is killing drives. I'd suggest you consider this:
