Hi there :)
I have an used IPulse M1 PnP machine since one week. In 2016 the machine had get a full service with update the OS from WinNT to the newest WinXP-Program. I had tested the machine on sellers production hall - All was running great.
Now, after delivery, the WinXP will boot only around 10sec and blank out the monitor than. I have tested it with different monitors and cables without success.
I've found the old OS on a deactive HDD in the machine cabinet. If i connect these HDD, the machine is running properly, so it should not an hardware defect.
I had backup-ed booth HDDs and check the new hdd with chkdsk and so on. No problem detected.
On Bootup, WinXP will show the loading bar for around 10sec. After that the Display goes into power save mode. The HDD-LED on the front is flickering and after around one minute there comes an air pressure down alarm. The machine warning light is blinking, too. Numlock and Capslock on the keyboard is working. I can start the servos with the servo-switch. Same with air pressure connected.
This leads me to assume that the operating system is actually running correctly.
Does anybody have a clue what is happened here?
Thank you in advance and take care! Bjoern
