Image Bank HD repair
Firstly, the Image Bank (IB) is connected to a digital back and camera body and a test shot made. If this fails, the IB is dismantled and inspected in order to determine the cause of failure according to the error description.
If the error is traced to the harddisk (HD) of the IB, the disk is replaced.
The IB is then connected to a computer and a special test program is run which monitors the SD RAM, the time and date, the fan and temperature, as well as the FireWire and battery connections.
The calibration files are transferred to the IB and both tethered and untethered testing is performed. Finally the flash sync is checked.
If the IB fails any of the inspections, the procedure is repeated. After passing all tests, the IB is ready to be returned.
A backup of images on the IB can also be carried out if a portable FireWire harddisk is shipped along with the IB.
