Xerox 5665: system unavailable. No software upgradeable.

[ondemandprint]

Hello.
There is an Xerox 5665 with totally destroyed network controller. It was stay for about 5 years. Of course the battery was dead.

I've replaced the yellow battery, restored NVM, removed network controller and its firewire daughterboard from machine. I've configured 5665 as a digital copier via NVM.
But this machine boots with well-known "System unavaiable". Well, I did an OF5 Boot Up Failure RAP, OF7 IOT Diagnostics RAP - that's all right.
Then I booted it in "non-consumer mode" via Image processing PWB's jumper j222. It boots rather well, copier UI fully works, machine sees all trays, paper and so on.
BUT when I booted it in "normal mode" - system unavaiable again.

Then I tried an "software upgrade".
1) In "non-consumer mode" utility connects to machine, turns an UI into software upgrading mode, but progress bar on the PC moving endless. It doesn't ask for firmware file, then 5665 reboots and utility loose the connection.
2) In consumer mode utility cannot connects to 5665 at all because of "System unavaiable".

I tried 25.00.0012 diagnostic tools.

You need to do dc132 and after that reload copier only software

Can I do it without network controller? Motherboard is a broken because of electrical failure.

Software 20.113
dc132 - I did it.

you should have mentioned that to begin with.... you need a new motherboard before doing altboot

You need something like these:

he mentioned now that the mother board was fried...

he mentioned now that the mother board was fried...

Yes motherboard of net controller.
He want to use the machine as copier only.

sorry I didn't see where he said motherboard of net controller... and the way some here describe things you never know what " motherboard" means to them...
