-- Power Supply Is Dangerous? (http://archive.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?threadid=96450)

It looks like I found out just how dangerous the power supply can be. While upgrading the hard drive in my HDVR2, I accidentally touched the power supply with the same hand as was on the hard drive, while the other hand was holding the case steady.

ZAP!

Immediately, the fan shut down and it's not doing a thing. Is it now a boat anchor?

If not, what sort of repair needs to be done? If it is fried, can I purchase a new HDVR2 and simply swap the access card and hard drive (being real careful this time!) and be set, or do I need to go through account signups and guided setup stuff?
