Philips – iU22
Q: I am currently getting an error 606 when Initializing. I have replaced power supply and video card. It will occasionally boot one the breaker has been flipped multiple times. Does the little number in the corner have boot check significance? Everytime it fails the number sticks on 9 and will throw the error. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
A: Yes — the Error 606 on the Philips iU22 is a hardware initialization failure, often related to system board issues or boot sequence faults. Here’s how we can break it down and troubleshoot based on your symptoms and observations.
What Error 606 Means
Typically associated with a failure during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Could involve: CPU board, Motherboard, PCI or frame grabber cards, Corrupted BIOS, Bad connection on the backplane.
Suggested Troubleshooting Path
1. Reseat All PCI/PCIe Cards
2. Try Booting with Minimal Hardware
3. Replace CMOS Battery / Reset BIOS
4. Check Backplane Board
5. Check Power Sequence & Grounding
Shimadzu – MobileArt Evolution EFX
Q: Does anyone know how to turn off the drive tone on the mobile dart?
A: Yes! On the Shimadzu MobileArt Evolution EFX, the drive tone (also referred to as the travel buzzer or mobility beep) is a safety feature that sounds when the unit is in motion. While it is there to alert others of movement, it can sometimes be silenced if permitted by your facility’s policies and local regulations.
To turn off or adjust the drive tone:
Use Service Mode (Technician Access Required)
Enter Service Mode:
• Turn off the system.
• Hold down specific buttons (usually a combo like the “up/down” buttons on the console) while powering on the system.
• You may need a service password (default or provided by Shimadzu).
Navigate to System Settings or Mobility Settings:
• Look for options labeled “Drive Tone,” “Travel Alarm,” or “Movement Buzzer.”
Set to Off or Adjust Volume.
Save and Exit Service Mode.
