Re: 3500i F000 error

I had this issue and my final resolution was to replace the HDD. I had first loaded USB keys with individual
firmware thinking this would resolve the issue, next I tried the memory modules without any success.
I was prepared to try the main board and power board but at this point I tried the HDD which worked.
Once I was sure the machine got to the ready to copy I shut down the machine and reloaded the firmware.
i hope this works and saves you some time.
Please advise the outcome.
Cheers
