LeCroy Wavesurfer 454 blue screen of death

[mrmoon]

Hi Guys,
I have LeCroy Wavesurfer 454 that does not start up any more. I get the blue screen of death .
My friend told me that I had to chech the 3V back-up battery. And yes, he was right... the battery was totally flat.
So I have replace te battery, but still the scope does not start up 

Anyone an idea what can be the problem? How can I make my scope work again?

The details of the BSOD could be useful. (Do they indicate a HDD failure?)
Considering the battery was gone the BIOS settings seem a good starting point.

It this the info you need?

This is the bios screen setup, not a windows BSOD       does it start in this windows

And your drive  should be  primary master to help a little bit,  sure you can choose it in the bios settings,   a dead battery  would mean  failed bios setups and the clocks settings gone.

It can change the boot device(s) order and other things  like serial parallel  usb   etc ...

Normaly you should have a ''default bios setting'' selection in the bios, sometimes it help settings things or correct a few things for a startup

If windows is blue screening at startup and coupled with a dead flat bios battery I suspect low lever hard drive drivers are at fault. If the hard drive controller settings were lost then it might be trying to use the wrong ones. ATA VS AHCI VS RAID (this needs to match what windows was INSTALLED with). Check the hard disk controller type first. The good news here is it will make windows think it is broken but it is not. Also don't let windows try and repair its self this really did not start working well until about windows vista. But the battery being totally flat will cause a BIOS reset to factory defaults.

The good news here is should be totally recoverable. Bad news is you need an IT guy this time. I expect some BIOS settings are preventing the boot. I don't think anything is broken. At least not yet. hard drive faults are always a possibility.

Thanks. That looks like good news!

Does anybody know what the correct BIOS settings are?

I have a booting 434, maybe I can help with that settings?

Hi aqibi2000,

Yes maybe you can! Could you make pictures of all BIOS screens?

You can get into the BIOS by pressing the Delete key during start up.

Beware: do not change anything in your BIOS settings!

Thanks a lot for the movie 

Can you please also show what is behind the "Press Enter" option in some BIOS settings?
