While I was swapping drives on my HDVR2 I must have hit the panel to PCB ribbon cable. I powered up and did not have a TV display. Powered down and reseated the cable. Now my remote does not work.

Is there a worthwhile fix?

DT said they would send out a replacement. The sent a DirecTV Plus.
They say it is my unit because it is replacing a unit I have. One of the Drive mounting screws was rattling around so I called and ask them if I could open the box. I was told just do not hurt yourself. It has a 160 GB drive.
Is there a discussion group on the Plus?

It's a common problem. Search the 'broken tivo' forum for 'white ribbon cable'. It's an easy fix; you may already have the tools.
