    C3545 network controller failed to initialize

    I did image of the hard drive, no change. It fails @ 75% of network controller initializing.
    Software upgrade?

    I think u need to describe this problem further.....does it just stay on the 75% dot forever? does it come up with a fault code or a fault message?

    No, it does not stay on the message @ 75% '.... network controller failed to initialize' - it then says contact network administrator. Of course, inside access network configuration is disabled.
    Should I look for an error code? Does this have to do with something else other than network controller?

    Try with another USB cable or plug it on another usb port. I think there are 2 usb port on network controller

    If you must avoid working blindly, you'll need to connect to it via pws diagnostics and check last 40 faults. the no 1 fault on this list is most likely the real problem. u may check out the usb cable as suggested, but from my own experience network controller initialization issues are usually related to hard drive crash! If u have, try a preloaded hard drive, preferably from a workin machine....software download can only be through altboot and this is not usually as simple as described.

    I did mention I replaced imaged hard drive, didn't I... but at I haven't had a chance to hook up laptop with pws to check the faults.
    What would USB connection have to do with it - just to see that the board may be dead?

    Is the drive you imaged from a working machine?, cos its simply a garbage-in-garbage-out situation if u imaged d drive of same machine since its data is likely already corrupted.
    check with pws first and know what you're really dealing with
    if u must do anything with hd make sure u have one from a working m/c, otherwise your sole option will be to use a new hd and upload s/w thru' altboot!!
    yes, cables because among the three cable connections to the n/w controller, the usb is the one susceptible.

    Adeyemi, thanks for the info. Of course it was a drive from working machine, what would be the point of imaging drive from a bad one?
    I will soon send one of my guys to check errors via pws.
