Hi all, looking for some help with my series 3 OLED display HD Tivo please.
Yesterday after a power outage my Tivo would not restart after power came back on. Stock on the powering up screen.
After searching the forums and checking several items I have found the following:
1) I could not get the hard start trick to do anything, screen stays the same
2) The unit is making a clicking noise with a sequence of 6 clicks then 2 clicks several times until all seems to stop
3) I do have a bulged top on capacitor board location #C701
From what I have read so far the bulged capacitor definitely needs to be repaired but am concerned about the hard drive as well due to the clicking noises which seem to me to be from the hard drive trying to start.
Looking for advice/suggestions on what is the best way to proceed.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
