I turned on one of our robots this morning and got a black screen with some text titled HARDWARE TEST VER 2.0. Cycling power doesnt change anything and i can't get to the control start screen, it jumps right to this one. I performed the screen test thinking maybe if i picked an option it would advance me to something more useful but it just came back to the same menu after flashing some colors

nvm. Teach pendant is broken, thats the problem

Had the same issue. How did you determine it was a broken pendant?

One of the TP button is "pressed" all the time (= blocked) and that's why robot boots in this mode. I don;t remember exactly which was the button...
Desassemble the TP and try to figure it out, sometimes it helps just to press it and it releases.

Thanks. I used the keypad test 'F2' and found the position switch was jammed into the pendant. Was able to massage it free and once it popped out I was good to go!
