  • TiVo HD won't boot - grey screen

    For the last several months, if I lost power, the TiVo would get to a grey screen when booting and then stop. If I unplugged and then replugged in the power, it would boot fine. No other problems.

    Last night, after a power cycle, it got stuck at the grey screen again and power cycling is not helping.

    The unit shows the "powering up" screen prior to the grey screen. I have tried unplugging the cablecard and all cables other than the HDMI cable with similar results (other than it flashes some video static).

    I tried to do the jumpstart codes, but no go. It is a model TCD652160.

    Is this most likely a hard drive, power supply or motherboard issue?

    Most likely, that's a bad hard drive. Replacement kits are here:
