WORDS OF CAUTION:
Upgrading a TiVo 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 Adberg Consulting 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

OPENING THE TIVO
Unplug the power cord from your electrical outlet 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 Torx screws on the back of your TiVo.
The four screws are surrounded by black from the top of the
TiVo’s case.
Once the four screws are removed, remove the lid. Place your
palms on the top side edges of the TiVo, toward the back and
push toward the back of the TiVo (this occasionally requires a bit
of force). The cover should slide back and then up. Remove the
cover from the TiVo.
