Hello,

What powerboard are you talking about?
What brand and type is the board?
Also pictures might help.

What makes you think it's the power supply? A guess is fine but if you have test results, please share. The catch-all approach to fixing a power board is to replace all the electrolytic capacitors. They (usually just one or two of them) are the most common failure mode.

A brief search showed that hard drive failure is a common source of trouble with TiVo units. Have you done any testing to confirm it's not the hard drive?

There are websites dedicated to TiVo repair. I'm not telling you to go away, just noting that your situation is not unique and that the experts for fixing it may hang out elsewhere.
