Problem with DirecTivo after installing new hard drive
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hurricane Isabel fried the hard drive in my Sat-T60 so I copied a backup drive image (that I d/l) to a new hard drive. I installed the drive and it appears to work.

Now, though, my unit is not getting power to the front panel. Even though it's on, the power light is not lit. More important, the buttons on the front and the remote control do not work.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,
David

Have you checked the ribbon cable that goes from the motherboard to the front panel? It's pretty easy to knock it loose during drive changes.

That is exactly what happened, Michael! Thank you. You're a genius. :)
