Tivo Series 3 hard drive failing, can I replace it?
details
Bought a refurbished Tivo Series 3 (from Tivo) earlier last year and lately it's been occasionally making crazy scratching sounds which are leading me to believe that the hard drive in it is beginning to fail. Can I pop it open and swap it out with any regular SATA (or IDE, whichever is in there) hard drive? It might still be under warranty, but given that I bought it refurbished I think the warranty might have expired when I hit the 1 year mark a few months ago.
