    Check through out the forum as there quite a few posts about this problem.

    One of the big problems with this model is that you can get a short in the tray 3 and 4 wiring looms. To make sure this isn't your issue, check out ICP11 - 14 to see if they are open or closed circuit. If they are open, then you have a short in one of the trays.

    If that is the case, then look through previous threads to find the fix that I have posted.
    Please don't ask me for firmware or service manuals as refusal often offends.

      i currently have the problem you mentioned except i was having problems with tray 4. i swapped tray 3 to 4 and now the machine is frozen at the space theme which is after the hour glass. i tried looking everywhere on this forum for the fix but i wasnt able to find anything. can you tell me what the solution is?

            May I ask how you re-rite the NVRAM?

            I didn't think that the NVRAM could be written to normally without the machine doing the work or reprogramming the chip manually.

                That is the CF card, not the NVRAM. I have both the disk tools from Konica Minolta, but nothing to rewrite the NVRAM.

                  I have had plenty B601/751 s hanging on hour glass , rewriting CF card with disktool always fixes the problem, Never had problems with NVRAM and i doubt there is any proceedure to reset the NVRAM

                    Re: Bizhub 601 Copy Firmware from CF to Other CF

                    Hi all,

                    I have had a problem similar to what you describe. I did write the software onto the CF card with the disk tool, but when I installed the card back into the machine, the machine rebooted every time. The hour glass comes up, displays for about a second and then the screen goes blank, and the process repeats the whole time. Is it normal because this happend for about a minute and I have switched the machine off ad removed the card to try and rewrite it again.

                    I can't find any documentation on what must happen if your wrote the software to factory default.

                    What I also saw was that on a operational CF card there are about 90 files (including directories), where as if you have done the factory default there is about 10 Files (including directories).

                    And I only deleted the old files, NEVER formated the card.

                    Any info would be appreciated.

                    Thanx

                    Eugene

                      It could be that your CF card is corrupt and needs to be replaced.
