Continuous reboot after installing WK hard drive upgrade

03-09-2011, 07:44 PM

TiVo series 3 HD which I just installed a hard drive upgrade from Weaknees, keeps rebooting after the screen reads "powerig up"; it gets no further.

Tried to pull cable cards and reboot, but no change.

Suggestions???

Can you post your order number and exact TiVo model number?

Been here a long time . . .

I called support and they (kinda dick-ishly) pointed out that I ordered the hard drive for the TiVo HD rather than the Series 3. Got RMA and will pay the 15% stupid tax, plus shipping.
On a more positive note, packaging, instructions, tools, etc. on the drive I did get were most excellent and foolproof - so long as you order the right drive. ;-)
