Hi everyone!
Well Laura and Arturo already explained what we did today in order to
get them both (Pio and Nero) working. First of all, Carlos L. said
something about the power source for the CD drive, we need to watch it
in order to determine the electrical needs of it and then figure out
what we could do, as the HDs work with 5V I think the same power source
we are using for the tests with the HD could be used to power up the CD
drive.
Now, in regard of the tests, we found several problems within. At some
printed circuits the tracks were torn and a bit burned we don't really
know why this happened, perhaps because it's an old model and it hasn't
received the proper handling so we fixed them and they are working now
properly. There are still several test we have to make because there's
something bugging us in Pio: it can only be powered up with both the
batteries and the external source at the same time, the lack of one of
them prevents it to be turned on and its internal computer isn't turning
on either so we have to still check the circuits to troubleshoot it
hoping we can achieve this by tomorrow.
With the HD issue, we really need Luis and Carlos L. to work on it ASAP
to see if it's really the HD the one that prevents Nero to start and
then buy a brand new one or if there's some kind of problem with the
motherboard or something.
So far these are the news for what we've been doing this past few days.
Sorry if we haven't closed the first tickets but we haven't finished, we
are making a lot of progress but it also takes time for we are still
students and we don't have that much experience with these issues. Be
patient! :P
Cheers!
Hi Carlos,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your message and your activities with the project. Also, I would like to encourage you to realise your next ticket in the list.
Luis and Carlos L. can help you but they might be doing tickets as well. So, let's wait and see if they have some time for doing that as their tasks now are relevant to the project too.
Kind regards,
Renato.
Yesterday we went to the lab and we finished setting Pio up. It's now working properly, and it doesn't depend on both the external power source and the batteries, we found out that it only needs one battery to operate and the other two are for giving more battery time.
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to use the power sources we got from the storage of the lab but unfortunately they can't give the necessary current so we still have to figure out what we're going to do about that.
So Pio is almost fully operational, we just need the USB port of the laser to work (if we're going to use it but it would be better to have it "just in case") and finally to make the backup image of it's HD and then to install player on it.
On the other hand with Nero we need the HD to be working to test the functionality, at least the peripherals are working fine so now we (Laura, Arturo, Óscar and I) are waiting for Carlos L. and Luis to work on that so we can keep moving on.
Cheers!
