Color instructions are also available at http://www.weaknees.com/upgrade_instructions.php
WORDS OF CAUTION:
Please be aware that upgrading presents a few physical hazards. As with most consumer electronics devices, components in
the TiVo may still carry a charge, even after disconnecting from your power supply. Be aware of this while working inside
your TiVo. Allow sufficient time for discharging of components and avoid contact as much as possible with potential
hazards. While we have done everything we can to provide accurate, easy-to-follow instructions, we cannot be responsible
for any damage done to your TiVo or to yourself as a result of your upgrade. Please be VERY careful when upgrading.
NEVER open the TiVo while the unit is plugged in and NEVER operate the TiVo if the lid is not securely fastened.
Please Note: Opening the TiVo voids the
warranty.
THIS KIT INCLUDES:
1 T10 Torx L-Key
1 T15 Torx L-Key
4 Drive screws
1 IDE hard drive cable (actual cable may vary from picture)
1 Y-power
1 Upgrade hard drive (not shown)
1 Set of upgrade instructions (not shown)
You will also need a Phillips-head screwdriver
1. OPENING THE TIVO
Unplug the power cord from your electrical outlet and wait five
minutes for the TiVo to discharge. Do not plug the TiVo back in
until you are completely finished. Be very careful of static
electricity, which can destroy your TiVo's internal parts. You
should not perform this upgrade on carpet.
Using the Torx T10 (smaller of the two) L-key included with
your kit, unscrew the four lid screws on the back of your TiVo.
The four screws are surrounded by silver from the top of the
TiVo's case.
Once the four screws are removed, remove the lid. Place your
palms on the top side edges of the TiVo, toward the back and
push toward the back of the TiVo (this occasionally requires a bit
of force). The cover should slide back and then up. Remove the
cover from the TiVo.
