A-Cart Incomplete Boot
RE: Ultrasound Systems Report Post
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I thought so, too. But before I buy an expensive power unit, I thought I could get some input from this board.

Hi,
I have the service manual, too, but not helping me much. I changed the power but it's still not fully booting up, although the rough sound from the bad fan is gone.
I was able to capture an image of the error before it switched off. It appears to be a UI initialization failure (505). Without the software to go in there, not sure which it might be. Could be something as simple as a keyboard. Ireseated all the cables in the control panel, but still no luck.
Do you have any experience with this? Hate to junk a perfectly good machine, otherwise.

Either your hard drive is failing or the software is corrupt. First thing I would try is pulling back cover off, pull out the umb and see if it boots. I have one unit that that will boot 10 times with no issues but the instance I put the inner back cover on the machine won't boot. If it still doesn't boot then make sure the main ribbon cable is flat and the hard drives are running. Finally if still not booting I would replace the hard drives and reload the software. Make sure you have a copy of the option license before starting.

With the back cover off look at the green led on both dolphin boards. They should start off solid green then start blinking rapidly. If one blinks rapidly and one is solid green then the solid green dolphin card is bad. If they are amber in color them look at your fire cable between the two. The machine will not boot until they are talking to each other.

Thanks for the suggestions. I took off the back and pulled out the umb. It still only booted up to the 60 counter (please see pics). Hard drives appear to be functional, but cant be sure. I found the two green LEDs, and they both are blinking rapidly.
Does anyone here think a bad touch screen can cause this 505 error, and failure to finish booting?
Doesnt appear can attach pics here.

How is software loaded on this machine? Is there a bootable disc that can run in the cd drive?
