So the EEPROM is located on the function board. It is the chip where all the machine calibrations are stored. I believe it has the number 43 written on the top of it. (been awhile since I have looked at it) It could be that something happened to the EEPROM itself, possibly the function board as well. First thing I would do is to pull the function board slightly out and then push it back in. Make sure both sides are seated on the motherboard well and try booting up the machine again. If that doesn't resolve the issue, you can try looking at the board itself to see if there are any scorch marks or corrosion on there. You can try a separate known good function board to see if that will work. Just note that if your machines are bluestar upgraded you will need to switch the EEPROM from one function board to the other, otherwise you will get a mismatch error when trying to load. This should also tell you whether it's the function board itself or the EEPROM that's at fault. (unless the error doesn't go away) If it's not bluestar then if you switch the function board, you should at least be able to tell if it's something on the function board vs somewhere else. Also make sure the machine is in T&C mode in the service mode settings. One other good piece of advise, if you're not familiar with removing the boards take a picture of how the cables go into the board and how many connections there are. I would suggest this with the function and UI/Mic board as they have the most cable connections on them.

I'd recommend you dive back into your training docs/trainer/co-workers before you touch the machine or any other ones moving forward. The poster above gave great insight and tips on what you can do; but I cannot in good conscience provide you with anything other than say see your training please.
I guess this is why we'll need to register moving forward; my response included. Also, to make it clear just in case anyone thinks so. There is no malice in what I am saying and I just want for us to seek education/understanding of the machines we are working on b/c a life is on the line.

To add to the very valid points you bring up..... I think we all need to remember that as far as I know, all manufacturers and CMS requires that anyone working on the dialysis machines be properly trained. I think most trained techs can usually tell if a question is from someone with or without training. Unfortunately in our desire to help, we end up trying to help someone that shouldn't be helped. There have also been people asking for copies of manuals. Please remember that the manuals are also for trained tech's as well as being copyrighted that restricts its distribution. Which reminds me, I need to finish dealing with such a request on the Braun forum! |

I disagree somewhat. How many people here have seen this alarm? I cannot find this alarm anywhere in the troubleshooting guide. I don't recall this alarm being discussed in the Level I class or in the troubleshooting class. There may be an EEPROM on the mother board as well.
The manuals are all online. What does it take to provide someone with the link?

EEPROM error code. Did this happen once or is it re-occurring? There were a series of 3t0s (basic t-machines) that had this happen as a one off on the machines. The important thing to watch for is that your calibrations are still valid, it's time consuming but a best practice necessity. If the issue is on-going it can be the Function Board, the EEPROM chip itself, or feed back from a part that sends and receives EEPROM data (basically every calibrated sensor and pump). Try the board, then the chip. If those don't fix the issue try moving the hydraulics to a different card cage, then run both machines and see where the issue lands.
