Hi All, finally getting back to this. Checked the power supplies and everything looks ok.
I connected again with hyperterminal and this time copied the response from the controller.
I started with the xdelete “image.bin” and got response:
-> xdelete "image.bin"
xdelete "image.bin"
deleting file image.bin
value = -1 = 0xffffffff = _end + 0xffc65717
-> reboot
reboot

It would then rebook like this:

And then would loop like this seemingly forever…
I then did a few reboots and it would do the same thing until I powered it down and removed all of the cables going to the computer and powered it back up again.
I then booted it back up again and was back to the infinity counting up screen and following LEDs:
CPU
PWR: Green
HDD: Nothing
Status: Flashing green
Just like before. We have the boot disc so I said I would try to delete the system and do a cold boot. I used the xdelete “system” and got the following response on startup:

It still didn’t enter the boot menu on start up, teach pendant never leave the count up window. It’s worth noting that we also tried a new teach pendant which had now effect.
See full hyperterminal Log although I believe it may be missing the command where I deleted the system but everything this else is there.
I assume at this stage we would be looking at replacing hardware. Anyone have any idea? Main computer? Hard drive? IO computer?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks
