When i boot up the c-arm i am getting a blank interface on the c-arm and then after about 2 minutes the interface will display 20 filled in boxes instead of going through the normal procedure of displaying the arrows. I am looking through the manual now. If any one has a quick tip about this error please let me know. thank you.

no fluoro boot up error

posted this for referance:
Five Squares: Initialization of interrupts, display, and timers is complete.
Ten Squares: EEPROM checksum verification is complete.
15 Squares: Keyboard initialization is complete.
20 Squares: Control Panel Processor PCB’s UART initialization is complete. Control Panel Processor has sent its “boot
complete” message to the Fluoro Functions PCB.
No Arrows: The operating system begins loading. If bootup fails on this arrow, reload the software.
One Arrow: ARCNet initializes. Software architecture initializes. System sets C-Arm time. If bootup fails on this arrow,
check ARCNet connection on the Fluoro Functions PCB and X-ray Controller PCB. Reload software.
Two Arrows: The system performs a CRC on persistent (non-volatile) data. If bootup fails on this arrow, reload the software.
Three Arrows: Internal software timers initialize. If bootup fails on this arrow, reload the software.
Four Arrows: Operating system completes loading. General application software starts (Gen_Init). If bootup fails on this
arrow, check ARCNet connections on Fluoro Functions PCB and X-Ray Controller PCB. If Workstation completes boot, check
System Interface PCB. Reload software.
Five Arrows: Generator object tasks initialize. If bootup fails on this arrow, check communications between Workstation and
C-Arm. Check the ARCNet. Verify that Workstation completely boots.
Six Arrows: All generator objects have been created and relationships formalized. Communications between Workstation
and C-Arm have been established. If bootup fails on this arrow, reload the software.
Seven Arrows: Error handlers initialize. If bootup fails on this arrow, reload the software.
Eight Arrows: System reads and sets CMOS values. If bootup fails on this arrow, check CMOS and reload software.
Nine Arrows: System checks generator event table and loads it into memory. If bootup fails on this arrow, check flash
memory and reload software.
Ten Arrows: PIOs initialize. If bootup fails on this arrow, check registers and counters, and reload software.

plugged in wall for about an hour, came back powerd unit back on and then boot sequence made past all 20 blocks, then made it to 4 arrows and froze up. Restarted again and then unit froze up on 20 blocks again. Im starting to think that this is a battery issue. spoke with tech that uses the system and said that they never leave it plug in overnight. I will leave unit plugged in for 24 hours and see if that will correct the problem. Any other input for this problem would be great. thank you.
