I always thought the hard drive in there made unusual noises when booting up, similar to that of other ones I've had in PCs that are just about to develop a fault which SMART usually tells you about. I tried doing what are called TiVo KickStart Codes but due to the fact the VM TiVo is different from the Premiere in terms of front LEDs and firmware I haven't been able to get to any of the described diagnostic menus to do tests.
Here's a pic of the green screen anyway.
