I know these things aren't normally worth attempting to repair but
because TiVo have just about giving up supporting new Freeview boxes
for the TiVo, I'd like to repair it if possible. I'm no expert in this
field but would I be right in assuming that capacitor in the centre of
the picture isn't right?
If it is U/S, would it be a likely cause of the symptoms? It has 2200
microF, 10V, HD(M), 105C and HD243 printed on it.
Yes. The 105C suggests it's in a SMPS and that is the most likely source
of trouble.
