  • Welcome! (not so much, not powering up)

    Just back from vacation and find my Series 2 TCD649080 stuck on Welcome! Powering up...

    Can't get it to go past there, can't get to the yellow light for the kickstart tests, imagine hd is dead?

    Problem/questions
    I added a hard drive a couple years back so then had two including the original. Guess I hoped for some warning before the original died, no such luck.

    1) Any possibility of salvaging shows?

    2) Can I purchase another drive and re-use the two year old drive somehow? They are probably "paired"??

    I would be happy to take out the drives to test them, have a computer I can run dos or linux programs on.

    Thanks for any ideas!

    1) If you have a bad drive, the chances of data recovery are pretty slim, and your symptoms are consistent with a bad drive.
    2) I'd recommend one large internal drive in lieu of your two drives. See:
