broken cablecard reader?

Just discovered that my "Slot 1" cablecard reader needs to be replaced on my TivoHD (after spending time with Time Warner and Tivo customer support and trying multiple M-cards). I'm having trouble finding a source for replacement parts or definitive knowledge about the cablecard readers themselves.



My understanding is that Slot 1 and Slot 2 are not handled the same way - the M-card must go in Slot 1 - can someone confirm? And some other questions: are the 2 readers for those slots identical from a hardware point of view? Can I swap the reader for Slot 2 with the reader for Slot 1 and get the M-card working? Is removing the reader easy to do? (I've done hard drive upgrades, so I'm comfortable unscrewing things and attaching/detaching cables, but is that all it involves?)



If not, are there any good places to get this particular part or am I better off harvesting one from another TivoHD (from eBay or wherever)?



Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
