CPU5_3, i kill the BIOS of the Board!!!

[stefan.etter]

Hallo,
I change the Hard disk of a CPU5_3. The hard disk are build from my college on a CPU6 !!!!
The Bios are flashing and the CPU5_3 does not work with this hard disk. I change the old Hard Disk in the CPU 5_3 and a Error came too. Then I want to restart the BIOS and I make a “Restart from EPROM”. The CPU says: Remove the Jumper before restart?? I say Yes and the CPU5_3 don’t speak any more with me.
The customer have temporary a CPU6 so he can speak!!
Can I repair the CPU3_5 ??? When I switch on the CPU on the console is no live.
Thank you
(On eBay it cost 850,-Eur )

You were supposed to know what you were doing before playing with this CPU (from customer!)... It is very bad idea what you did.

yeah - rule No1. Never play with the OXE.

In some countries they worship it by doing prayers and dancing round with chickens etc..

Why not?
No risk - no fun.

PS: I thought a CPU6-2 HDD on a CPU5-3 will not flash the CPU5-3 BIOS.
Normally it's no problem and Alcatel-Lucent have a fix: TC0368 (should work reverse)
But if there is no reaction anymore send the CPU to Alcatel-Lucent AfterSales for repairing.

I agree Elliot, no risk no fun, but never with something that is not yours...I can do whatever I want with my cards but not with customers ones... If not I must been fired long time ago

Eliott - there are exceptions to the rule. You are clearly one of them!

You are probably one of a few on here that could actually bring an OXE back from the grave! or even fix one with spares from your old bicycle!

Some of you guys - maybe - remember the PDI Kit to flash boards. If you have the PDI you need no bicycle.
I remember times I used a soldering iron to remove SMD parts to get a LDTL board working with a paging system.
Really funny.

This time I have no clear idea what happend with the board but a PDI Kit could help.

Set Terminal to 9600-7-E-1
Set the Jumper correctly (X11 2-3? I'm not sure)
Plug Flash-Kit onto socket
Plug board into ACT (free slot) (4 LEDs are on)
If necessary press the Reset-button on the PDI-Board
A menu appears - press N
Enter: CODE_FLASH_ERASE
Enter: CODE_FLASH_LOAD
Choose Transfer Textfile in yout Terminal
Rename the attached file to START.HEX and upload it.
Unplug Flash-Kit from Socket
Plug the Jumper back (X11 1-2? I'm not sure)
Plug board into right slot and hope.
So you need the Kit to repair your CPU and the correct EPROM and the attached BIOS code file.
