These instructions are available in COLOR at http://www.weaknees.com/upgrade-instructions.php
A FEW WORDS OF CAUTION:
Upgrading a TiVo DVR presents a few physical hazards. As with most consumer electronics devices, components in the TiVo may still carry
a lethal 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.
By opening your TiVo, you agree that neither weaKnees nor any of its members or affiliates is responsible in any way for any harm done.
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 (see Figure 1)
1 T15 Torx L-Key (see Figure 1)
1 Upgrade hard drive (not shown)
1 Set of upgrade instructions (not shown)

OPEN THE TIVO
Unplug the power cord from your TiVo 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 (4) Torx screws on the back of your TiVo. Set these

screws aside.
Once the four screws are removed, remove the lid. Face the front of the
unit and place your palms on the top side edges of the TiVo, toward the
back. Push toward the back of the TiVo (this occasionally requires a bit of
force). The cover should slide back and you can then pull it up and off.
Remove the cover from the TiVo.
