There is the well-understood Green Flashing LED failure (no video out, no fan, I think) that apparently only Weaknees can fix for $180+. Happens occasionally after a brownout or other unstable power anomaly. This is my case... Had a power brownout and now TiVo is flashy-green dead.
So... Is THIS the issue clearly seen and remedied by getting the power-supply cleaned up with replaced caps?
Last time Weaknees repaired this issue for me, and I requested compliance with best-practices (or possibly, California consumer laws) where a service center must return defective/replaced parts to the customer, they dropped a random assortment of SMT parts which had never seen solder (under a microscope) to me, making it look like a bunch of resistors and caps and a couple transistors had to be replaced. Resistors all were fine, BTW.
Trying to get a handle on exactly what their "only-Weaknees-can-do-it" fix for flashing green LED actually is.
Does anyone know?
Oh... and once I get this fixed, I *WILL* install the recommended UPS... Duh... (Any recommendations from the community are greatly appreciated.)
Thanks Everyone!
