Hardware not loading

I have an old (1998) Vasoguard P84 modular Vascular lab whose original problem was a bad hard drive. I duplicated the hard drive from another working similar unit and was able to boot the system, but when I ran the application, there was a failure to load hardware message. The system has doppler (which works), pulse ox (again works), and various noninvasive pressure functions--these do not work. I don't believe it's hard drive/ configuration related--I swapped a good drive from another system into the nonworking unit and received the same message. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or where parts might be procured for this old unit? Thanks, Tim Stoecker

I'm not familiar with this system but we have an old nile machine the cable or connector always go bad and mess up the pressure functions. It always gives a max reading of over 300 You can try parts source they may be able to help with locating parts? [url=http://www.partssource.com/]http://www.partssource.com/[/url]

What is a "Nile" machine? Is it a PAP device? Was it made by Nicolet? I don't think Parts Source will be helpful here. I most likely need someone with an old device that could be canabalized for parts.

Its a device Like the VasoGuard made by Biomedix. You can try [url=http://www.kmaremarketing.com/Contact_Us/index.php]http://www.kmaremarketing.com/Contact_Us/index.php[/url] to see if they have any old Vasoguards?

I don't have the software, so I can't reload it. Do you have a source?

These Instruments,  in fact mostly Biomedical Test Equipment had, back in the day and now to a large extent, code and passwords, Test Key Locks etc.

The other HDD you used had an entirely different config and and it was not associated with the Serial Number of your machine.

The only Source for that Key is Nicolet unless they deleted it from their data base, given the age but it is worth trying to contact them.

The KeyCodes are associated with the exact machine they are progrogrammed with giving the Company Constant Control over Most Equipment when it is resold. Often they just give it to you at this point and help you install it; it is saved in their Database by Serial Number, more likely to give it to the ORIGINAL they have on file for the machine, just say you are  hehe\
