Dear Colleagues,
I have iU22 Cart A produced in 2005 software version 2.0.2.428 (G2.0.2 - System Update 5.0). It's rather old and isn't booting (It's stuck on Initializing Hardware screen). Both BIOS batteries for Host and SIP are discharged.
I'm asking to give any info that helps to correct BIOS settings to bring this nice machine back to life.
Thanks everybody!
To access bios when booting "initializing hardware" is displayed repeatedly press "del" unitl bios screen is displayed. The Bios password is !BoRiS! Or !BoRiS.
Thank You very much for the hint!
I really appreciate your support. At the moment I enter BIOS as soon as I press Del because the password is reseted. And all settings are as well. )
Another Idea: Maybe anyone with iU22 cartA machine can enter BIOS with password BMET-KY mentioned (the first one fits CartA) and make a photo of those settings?
SIP BIOS is more troublesome: it needs external videocard to see the settings.
As I told, will be thankful for any advice!
Typically when the Bios is lost this way it needs to be reflashed completely, have you had any success yet ?
Hi, Kyle!
Actually the problem's solution was easier than I thought. The machine works pretty fine with BIOS defaults. You should just disable floppy and set Halt on Errors feature to None. New battery and correct Date/Time are also appreciated.
Thanks Everybody. The Topic can be considered closed.
