Konica Minolta C253 (Develop Ineo+ 253) - HDD Error - Enter Service Mode during Error

[DrogenDiego]

Hey,

I have read every topic on the net. I have the field service manual etc.

Recently my printer C253 showed a HDD Error.
It won't boot and gets stuck at logo screen.

I went ahead and disconnected the HDD. Then the copier booted again but with the error code.

When I reinstall the HDD same Error.

So I tried to fix the HDD on my computer. I ran disk utility repair on my MAC.
Now the copier shows this error: C - D010
This reads to
CD010:


Hard disk unformat

So apparently The HDD is formated wrong now. I would like to enter the service Mode to format the HDD from within there.
BUUUUTTT I can't enter the service mode. Becaus the printer is stuck at the error screen. The Utility button doesn't do anything.

If I press the utility button during startup, the printer won't startup at all.....

So anyone has a idea how to enter service mode while an error screen is shown?

Any help is greatly apreciated!!

Yes but HOW to get in Service Mode while the machine displays an error? Can't dismiss the error.

Did you try trouble reset?

Did you try trouble reset?

I can't do trouble reset.
When I press the utility/counter button during startup, the small dot at the right corner appears.
But then it hangs on the logo screen. I can't get to the screen with trouble reset.

Simply go to service mode and then "system 2" , set HDD to "not installed". then reboot machine, it will start working.

if you are having trouble going into service mode, then open right side door and then turn the machine ON. It will not show any error unless you close the door. so leaving the door open, go to service mode with key combinations.

Nice try. But unfortunately not (

Even with door open the error appears immediately.

I attached some photos so you believe me )

put it back in your computer, remove the partition, create a partition but for goodness sakes dont format it, the copier has a different file system than your MAC so format it in the copier.
