Konica Minolta C253 (Develop Ineo+ 253) - HDD Error - Enter Service Mode during Error

Not sure if possible, just an idea. Can you open PSWC typing IP address of machine in a browser?
Admin settings-security settings-HDD settings-Format

How long have you waited with the error code? I have had HDD errors and sometimes it takes over five minutes before I am able to enter service mode.

Can't access the webpage. IP is not working. Just blank page.

put it back in your computer, remove the partition, create a partition but for goodness sakes dont format it, the copier has a different file system than your MAC so format it in the copier.

I didn't format the partition on my mac.
I just tried repairing it. But I would assume it makes the same problem.
If I create an empty partition with my MAC I highly doubt, that the error message will change. I would prefer not to medle with the HDD. I just need to get into that service mode to format it on the machine itself. Or if exists, find a tool that can format it from my computer. Than I can do that too.

I've had the machine running for an hours with no change in the error code.....

IT's the screen of death I can't do anything...

So, even after an hour with the code showing when you press the utility/counter button there is no response?
If that is the case there is something else going on.
Have you tried loading firmware?

Hey maybe something else is wrong...

No I haven't tried loading a firmware. As far as I known, the firmware is only available to technicians. So I have no means of getting a firmware.

Try reconnecting the HDD cable to the board and then check if it works. I wish i could have firmware for you.

Try to re install the firmware .. Then go to the service mode to uninstall hdd..

when error comes up afaik you can press utility/counter to enter the menu to go to service mode all the time. you dont dismiss the error but it gets you to the counter so you can enter the service mode
