Well, that's a typical case of Knüddel in the system's internal data path structure.

The Message
regarding unrecognized hard drive is a bit misleading, because the SONOS has no such ( the only
"conventional" disk would be the MOD for digital image storage, a lack of interference

Although this storage, but does not prevent normal operation).

Of course, what the system lacks can easily be found via a test program. I do not have

more the logon and password structure of these systems, but which can any ultrasound service

Employees here in NRW on the basis of the serial number you give, because they have on their

notebook the matching passwpord generator (on a picture, the SN is indeed documented). To

correctly logging in the test window, just run the full test. The system complains

the affected component already accurate! It can not be bad, there is always a "kind of picture"

is still shown. Maybe only a loose board or a mistake in the frontend. You can, if

frontend components are suspect, the 4 frontend boards behind the transducer plugs

exchange with each other and observe the effect (the two middle need the system for

Sector acoustic heads, all 4 for linear and convex probes).

So I would proceed:

1) Start self-test

2) In case of possible frontend error board from slot 0 or 3 with slot 1 or 2

swap and test if the sector is up and running again

3) Check all boards for a clean fit and especially the ribbon cables in the E-Box,

they are the bus system between all components

Bad luck, if it's the memory board (the board in the backend, the scanconverter, the as

Cache for all image data is used, but also reports reliably the self-test), because

that would have to be exchanged then. But is an extremely rare mistake, I have in my career

experienced only once under several hundred systems

Hello again,

another small supplement to my first answer: in the event that this system is

a fully featured thing, so a live 3D echo machine, could also be the system error

have to do with the integrated 3D PC. Of course, this is not the case for normal 2D operation

necessary, but a fault would also be reported. The green lamp on the PC below in

System must shine, if it is red, did not boot the thing clean, then 3D does not work. If here

there is a problem, please report again, you can "reanimate" the PC (runs on windows XP

). But first press "reset", restart and, if necessary, the complete self-test
let nip ... ..

the test diagnoses at the SONOS have almost 100% hit rate!

Hello,

when the 3D PC actually goes on strike, there can actually be only two causes as an alternative.
Very

Probably the button cell in the PC, which hold the back-up voltage ready to boot into the BIOS

should have arrived at the end of her lifetime. Can also be that when too slow boot process

the communication between US system and PC is no longer available.

In any case, you can proceed as described here below:

Most likely, only the BIOS battery in the 3D PC is in the bucket. The change is as follows:

Pull lower drawer out of the system (may have a spring stop halfway)

on the side, push in and pull out completely until you get to the PC back), the PC lid

Take off with a few screws, then the view is clear on the battery, a button cell in the

left half of the PC's type R2032 (has every household department at EDEKA or so). battery

change and switch on the system. With luck, everything runs smoothly. That's actually the one

Normally.

If 3D is not activated after a few minutes (the green lamp on the PC must be lit!)

Proceed as follows:

a) Before switching on the mouse and keyboard on the PC install (all connections are on the

Rear panel, upper connector is reserved for the mouse, lower for the keyboard)

b) Press the test button on the ultrasound system, the system then wants user ID and password

have to release the test menu. The user ID is customer, which is password

pcg05132, if the system SONOS 7500 still has software status D.1 (presumably

nobody has changed the software in the last years)

c) In the test menu, select the function "outher test & utilities" with the trackball

d) Then go to "VGA display path test" in the test menu: now it shows

Ultrasound screen the PC image!

e) For further work with the PC just wants to have this again user ID and password

: the user-ID is always given as default, the password, now on the PC keyboard

to enter is DUNEUSER

f) All further commands are made via the PC keyboard:

Press the Windows key

Select "all programms" and then "support tools"

Double click on "restore autologon"

Answer the next queries with "yes" and then with "OK"

Return to normal operation of the system with the reset button on the system

test whether 3D goes (as I said, the green light on the PC must be lit), if so, system

Turn off, remove mouse and keyboard, reconnect PC without reconnecting cables

push into the system and the world is alright again!

If under point b the password does not work, please call the local service, he can

generate password.

Somewhat awkward, but that was the way many years ago, when the US systems were not
complete

PC's were and one did not come so easily on the operating system level.

But with a bit of luck, the simple battery change is enough.

This whole procedure is of course also in the service manual, one must search only long, therefore

this short version.
