System is stuck at Quest - "starting up" at 100%.
RE: Electrocardiograph (EKG / ECG) Report Post
Coin cell could be dead and lost the system setup, try going into setup and see if you still have the configuration.

Thank you for the reply.
We did replace the battery because the system was in storage for a while, seems that the BIOS settings are there, not sure if we can confirm the settings are correct though. We can get the system started if we do it few times, the other problem is that even if we get it restarted and running, it locks up in the middle of the study and need hard restart again.
Thanks again,
Mel

Mel,
If I had to guess, I would say it's a memory problem. Can you replace the memory chips on the motherboard?
Like I said, just a guess but it's where I would look.

T., Thank you, I will give this a shot.
Medmeas, That is my understanding, not sure if there is anything spacail that need to be changed in the BIOS configration but I did not see anything there. I'd appracaite it if anyone has any pointers on this. Do you knoe how to reset it?
Thanks again,
Mel

I don't know what you mean by saying you didn't see anything special, the Bios setting for this device are very specific. I cannot write them down due to details. I can email it to you but I do not know your address. It is 5 pages long.

It sounds like the unit can be started and therefore the BIOS is loading, quote:
"We can get the system started if we do it few times, the other problem is that even if we get it restarted and running, it locks up in the middle of the study and need hard restart again."
The POST maybe detecting an intermitten error and therefore not allowing the unit to start. In those instances where it does start and then locks up in the middle of the study could be due to bad memory.
Let us know how it gets resolved.
