Hp16702a Reignite freez


 

Hello there.? Please help me with my LA HP16702A;? OPT003;? SN: US40020416;? U3 chip firmware on CPU board rev2.1 (in case this information is needed).?

All photo/video files will be uploaded to my in order to save space on the group server.??

The gist is this: I wanted to reinstall the operating system from the disk by running "Reignite".? I used the disk image B3760_14243-16700-A.02.90.00.iso, the size of which is 508,782,592 bytes, which I found on archive.org.??

During the installation process, the device produced a lot of errors , after which it began to produce notes and at this point any changes on the screen stopped; at the time of writing, the procedure is in its 12 hours, and nothing has changed.? The LEDs next to the rear panel glow as follows , access to the hard drive is extremely, extremely rare .? The CD-ROM is not accessed at all.??

I have a peculiar combo: this is my first time working with Hp-Ux, my first time using such a complex measuring tool, and my first time updating the firmware on it.? Therefore, I would like to know if this behavior is normal, that nothing happens for a long time, and whether I should have low-level formatted the hard drive on the computer before installing the operating system on it.??

The hard drive is complete and working, the information on it is readable.


 

Moderator's note: I sent this second message through as it contains additional information. Blame the redundancy on me, not on the new member. (who is an amnesiac ;)) Hopefully someone can help him out with his LA.

Okay, it's really silly. I dealt with the problem in a fairly simple way - the battery was dead and needed to be replaced.
Without a battery, or with a 0V battery, it is impossible to perform the Reignite procedure; the device will throw errors and notes. It previously seemed to me that the battery is solely responsible for the clock, and that when connected to 230V, the power supply provides the RAM with the necessary voltage to save data, as in modern PCs, but this is not so.
By the way, to connect a CD-ROM it is not necessary to have an adapter from one scsi connector to another, or to change the cable. It is enough to disconnect connector J10 and connect it to the CD-ROM , placing a jumper on it to turn on the terminator.?
Power for the CD-ROM can be taken from the MOLEX HDD; its design allows you to continue the line with new wires.
It is also useful information that DVD-ROM can be used for this procedure, because any DVD is also a CD.
Here is the I used, it is tested and works.
