bizhub 601 hourglass on display. that is it

[brent]

[the baffling part isotherm are 2 part numbers for that card both in the USA region. Which one is the right one???


QUOTE=tervel12;421694]Before replacing the CF card you can try to rewrite the firmware. There is a base firmware file available for download on the KM site (I think it shows up under special firmware). Be sure to download for the correct model, 601 or 751.

Do the following to rewrite the firmware:

1. Remove the CF card from the copier.
2. Place the CF card into a reader on your laptop/computer.
3. Your computer may ask to format the card, DO NOT FORMAT the card.
4. Create a new folder on your desktop.
5. Open Windows Explorer and browse to the CF card.
6. Cut and paste all of the files and folders to the folder you created on your desktop. (you can delete them later if everything works)
7. Extract the base firmware file you downloaded and copy the files and folders to the CF card. (the structure should resemble that of the files you removed)
8. Place the CF back into the copier and power it on.
9. You can now flash it to the latest version. (It has been my experience that you do not have to step up the firmware like on the 420/421's, but you can if you so choose)

Reminder: DO NOT FORMAT THE CF CARD.

If you do, you will have to purchase a new one. The CF cards are formatted with VxWorks file system and I have never seen an easy way to reformat them with this file system.

Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]

Here is the solution from KM's knowledge base:

Solution ID
TAUS1002175EN* Solution Usage 11

Description

Dark display panel.

Main power light is lit and the Start button flashes between blue and amber .

Alternates between hourglass display and "dark" display.

Solution

CAUSE:A surge in line power to the machine has caused the CF boot firmware to fail or has corrupted the VxWorks® formating on the OACB CF card.

SOLUTION:Rewrite version 10.0 Base firmware to the OACB CF card.If issue remains after rewriting the firmware to the card, replace the OACB CF card

(p/n A0PN R722 00).

Note : Before upgrading the firmware beyond the base level, change the administrator password.To do this, perform the following:

1. Enter Service Mode.

2. Press Stop, 0, Clear on the 10-key pad of the control panel.

3. Touch Administrator Password.

4. Enter the administrator password.

5. Touch End.

CAUTION : DO NOT FORMAT the CF card or delete files on CF card. These cards are formatted in VxWorks® format. A laptop running Microsoft®

Windows will format them in the FAT format and render them unusable.

When downloading the Base firmware version10.0 file do not point the download to the CF card. Point ONLY to file folder created on thedesktop naming it

"new CF 751/601".

Note : There is a different part number for the bizhub 601/751 CF card if version 20 firmware or later is installed. (p/n A0PN R722 11)


If your card is in Japanese, it looks like the part number you ordered is: A0PNR73200. (According to the parts manual, anyway) There are 2 cards listed in the parts manual but the 601 only has 1 card. It looks like you should order item #34, which is the item listed in the solution above.

They are formatted already but yours would appear to need the US base firmware written to it. You would, of course, need a CF card reader/writer to do this. You can pick them up cheap on ebay, or spend a little more at BestBuy.

I ordered part number A0PNR73300 was that the wrong one?

According to the solution, and looking through our call history, you need A0PNR72200. This comes with base version 10 loaded on it and you will need to flash it to version 20 and then to 30.

You could try removing all of the files on the card you have and copying the base 10 files onto it but if you do not have a card reader, then you should just order the correct card.

The Japanese market is correct when you order a new CF card. You just need to change the marketing area back to US. I know the icons are in Japanese, just use the SM to guide you to the correct keys to get you back. Emujo
