solitair not booting

Post by digitalfotostudio »

hi all,
this morning i switched on my Solitaire but all i had was an intermiting bleep sound and nothing on the screens (VGA and scart). On the facade liquid crystal of the solitaire "MACROSYSTEM" was visible and i noticed that the dvd deck was trying to activate, going on and off every 10 secs.
Any recomendations for me to make will be much appriciated.
Regards

1. Make sure there is no disc in your DVD burner.

2. Have the unit connected to both a VGA and regular video monitor, and have a keyboard and trackball connected.

3. Start the machine.

4. When you see the first activity on the VGA, press the Delete key on the keyboard.
This should take you to the Bios Setup Utility.

5. Right arrow across to the boot section and select Boot Device Priority.

6. Select 1st boot priority and press Enter.
Highlight the Pioneer burner and press Enter.

7. Select 2nd boot priority and press Enter.
Highlight Casablanca BEV and press Enter.

8. Select 3rd boot priority and press Enter.
Highlight ST300 (not sure of the complete number) and press Enter.

9. Select 4th boot priority and press Enter.
Highlight Disabled and press Enter.

10. Press F10 and then OK to save settings.

System shoud now reboot to main menu on the video screen. This may take about 60 seconds.

From there on you can go to System Settings to install your software from the "All Software CD".

Be careful, (this applies to Reno Plus or a Sol Plus owners), not to install Smart Edit from the "All Software CD

thanks Lou.
The problem was that neither on the VGA nor the scart TV there is no visual.
But for now and hope for a lot of time to come i solved the problem by dismantled the solitaire and took off the RAM , Cleaned and put them back. Switched ON and Wolla.....back to normal. Fortunetly no projects lost.
thanks.

How bizarre - I had exactly the same thing on a Solitaire here, except that the unit would also turn itself off too.

I changed the power supply & that sort of helped by virtue of giving a VGA (only) display.

Pulled the Ram out and cleaned the contacts and we appear to be back in business . . .
