Central unit of Siemens Arcadis Avantic doesn't work
RE: Mobile C-Arm Report Post
Do not assume the software is bad.
First check the BIOS, if the Bios battery has lost its voltage it can corrupt/reconfigure the BIOS. One example of BIOS reset is the normal Siemens password is lost & you can enter BIOS withpit password.
Depending upon the PC model you will need the special BIOS update disk if BIOS has reset.
Does the PC start-up?
Do you see the normal text at start-up.
Does windows XP start?
Does Sysngo screen appear & count-up?

Hello,
Sorry for my late response.
The PC starts up but there is an error. Apparently the motherboard is damaged which prevents the launch of the hard disk. This has been inspected by a computer scientist
I find another PC with Windows XP but I don't know if I can install the Siemens software
Moreover, this pc is protect by a password but I don't know him.
Can you help me?
Thank you
Sarah

Hi Sara
The Arcadis PC, particularly the early ones suffer from BIOS Battery problems. If the BIOS Battery fails the PC will not boot properly into Application.
If the BIOS is reset the PC will not boot into the application. The BIOS must be set correctly using the BIOS install CD/DVD.
If the Specialist knows PC's he may not be aware the Siemens Avantoc PC requires the correct BIOS settings. The setting are RAID related, but we are not taking about RAID 1, 5 10 etc.
My question, does the PC boot into int the application with errors? If the 3 drives are not visible in file manager it will not work. For example you should see C:/, D:/ & E:/ drives if you only see C & D drives this is your problem, BIOS! or a failed HDD.
During the power-on & start-up you should see for a short while the HDDs listed.

To answer your questions Sara, in order to reload software you will need: -
BIOS Password.
Administrator password.
The local service password, 16 digits generated by Siemens.
You will also need the Clone DVD or Recovery DVD's to be able to restore software depending upon which PC you have & relevant service packs.
For examle: M450, M460, M470, M720 and so-on. Is your system Gen1 (VB13C) or Gen2 (VC10A).
