what cbracci said anytime you replace a board you have to reload software.

and don't replace more then 3 boards at a time.

Ooo! I did'n know that.

First of all can you send me instructions how to do this and second if PCMCIA card is needed can I get it from somwhere as we don't have official GE tehnical reps.

Many thanks again!

you might try calling GE and see if you can buy the software, it should be v8.0, that is what ours is.

and yes it is on a PCMICA card.

there is a door on the left side of the monitor that is where the card goes, have the machine off put the card in and then turn the machine on it will boot to that card and you just slect down load software. if it ask selct all, it takes about 15 minutes to down load the software.

Hi again!

Can some of you give me the part/article number of this PCMCIA Service Application card?

In general do you have a list of part numbers for this system?

Many thanks again!
