Author Topic: Datasat AP20 boot error Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-30-2014 09:04 AM                     Does anyone know what a 'Boot Error -3-3' means or goes back to on an AP20? I haven't found a list of error codes/explanations for the AP20 so far. Datasat UK is closed during the holidays. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 12-30-2014 05:46 PM                     I'm afraid this really is a very specific case and Datasat Tech support are the only ones that can help you... I'm curious though, did this happen out of the blue or after e.g. a software upgrade?  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 01-01-2015 07:02 PM                        Was able to find a software guy checking his emails on the holiday: "error -3 is a crc error loading the boot image from flash. Most likely the image is corrupt, though there could be others reasons. Recommend try reprogramming the unit using recovery process - boot with finger on screen to recovery mode, load image on usb stick." Happy new year.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-01-2015 08:04 PM                     Great - I was hoping you would find this thread. We'll try what you wrote, will report back. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-12-2015 05:10 PM                        Did this resuscitate it? I only ask out of self-interest: two of our three booths have AP20s, and so this information is useful to have in case we ever encounter this issue.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-13-2015 09:57 AM                     No, according to Datasat UK, the CPU board is defective, it is now in repair. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-14-2015 10:17 AM                        Thanks. Flash memory does not last forever, and I'm guessing that in this case it simply failed.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-14-2015 10:33 AM                     I don't think this was a failed flash due to wear effects. It was a fairly new unit and at least did not experience any 'extra' flash usage. Do not even know if the flash was actually the part that failed. Shit happens. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
