This forum as been amazing...so much help to me trying to work on my Xerox. Problem is: was using the machine yesterday and in the late afternoon the screen froze. Then the boot screen came on and the machine would never boot. Then I remembered that the machine probably shouldn't be in 100% plus heat. So what I know is altboot to get the machine up and running again.
This is the trouble. I have loaded the three necessary files onto a thumb drive, inserted it into the machine, and turned on the power. About 2 minutes into the boot, I can see the thumb drive being read.
The screen goes black, and nothing appears on the screen as it should to reload the system. These are the files on the thumb drive. DISABLE_DATA_BACKUP, FORCED_UPGRADE, WorkCentre_7700-system-sw#01609022019700#.DLM
So why does it attempt to read the thumb drive but do nothing? After the black screen it goes back to the wait system is powering up. About 4 minutes later it does the same thing....reads the thumb drive, black screen and back to the power up screen.
As usual, thanks in advance for helping a chronologically mature guy.
