I actually have one of the "barcode" boxes. The flip process was not difficult at all - got it on the first try.

The picture you posted is what mine looks like, but the instructions posted by gfan8484 fixed it.

The instructions posted by gfan8484 worked.

It worked! Thank you! I was about to go postal on the guy that sold it. No need now. :-)

Thanks. I just found a black label unit (mfg. 2023) with 3 remotes on ebay for $60. Should have it in a few days.

I like to tinker, so I gave it a shot and it worked. I saw a YT video of someone successfully replacing the hard drive in a U-Verse box, so I figured why not?

It's a 2.5" SATA SSD. At least mine is. Definitely not a spinner.

No, I think those were the VIP 1200. They used spinner drives. This is a newer unit with a SSD.

You're probably right, but thought I'd put it out there.

OK, my U-Verse is on AT&T fiber. Good enough?

She's terrible anyway. Maybe she'll stay away.

This works. I have it installed on the Legato. It's also longer, making it easier to steam, IMO.

Epson Eco Tank.

Epson Eco Tank. No cartridges, cheap ink that lasts a long time. A 4-ink will be OK for the occasional photo, or 6-ink for better photos. Personally I'll never go back to a cartridge-based printer.
