If i remember correctly it needs a special firmware,if you have access to KM database make a search for it.

You have to be a tech to get the firmware.

bad RAM can cause this issue too - swap the sticks around to confirm.

If bad stick is in bank 0, machine will have black screen and both LED's on on the scanner.
if bad stick is in bank 1, machine will start, but will lockup at any stage during boot up.
