Hi,
Try this:
Not booting up with message "Communication Error"
Unplug HDD then power up. If it boots now and gives you a configuration error - select ignore and it will boot up ready to print. You will not have network scanning, but will print from network. It will receive faxes ,but will have limited sending memory:
- Try a Memory Clear, then reconnect HDD to test.
- Possible formatting of the HDD but replacement will bring the machine back to full operation. Normally we would save info, but in this case it wouldn't be possible, before replacement/format of HDD do a clone, backup FAX phone book and EMAIL address book to save data bases - these are in memory but with HDD replacement these are all lost when booting with the 'new' hard drive.
