How to open HD 11XE Ultrasound Machine.

How to open HD 11 XE  Ultrasound Machine.

HD 11-XE one of the best machine from the Philips.consist of the best image quality ultrasound start from the transducer and there is no limit of technology it is compatible in 2 D as well 3 D mode.
but need to open this machine for certain reason. For troubleshooting. for preventive Maintenance.some common problem arise in this machine for better life of this machine please use the UPS that will maintain the life of machine.some common problem mentioned as below

1. Can not add the patient data
2. Taking too much time while start up.
3. Track ball not working.

first two given issue can easily solve this is only because of software ram and hard disk.this thing can solve very easily.just need to clean up the data. upgrade with higher suitable software  version that will mostly solve software issue,but when things comes to hardware means need to open this machine.it was very difficult to open this machine because of its complexity,just follow the given step for open the machine,

1.  There are mainly 4 bolts at the back side of the machine that holds body structure of the  machine.refer image 1 for that.
2.  Kindly remove right side as well as left side body so the machine is open from the both  side,refer image 2.
3.  To remove connection board remove shown 4 bolts in image 3.after that slid it and just pull it  out.Refer image 3
4. After that there is circuit unit box consist of the single cable need to pull the green tap and after that pull the cable out,refer image 4
5. After that remove the 4 hand tight bolts thus box will open and all circuits there.Refer image 5
6. Be careful while remove any connection.either refer the specific code given on cable that is best thing about Philips  so easy to remove all connection as well reconnect it.
7. Image 4 when open the shown hand tight bolts that time circuits are there bounded by clip.when remove the clips circuits comes out.clean it by low pressure air. so the dust removed from the circuits thus the life of circuits raise.
8. And it consist diff rent power cards for different purpose it is necessary to place the board on proper place and it consist of empty slot for the future expand scope to add some more features in the machine.

As shown as above how to open the machine it consist of the around 15 connection but each cable consist of the tagging of connection so without photo easy to remove all the connections. and it consist 5 circuit board with tagging so no worry it remove and clean.many times due to dust and moisture inside that time need to clean the circuits thus normal common problem solved in to that.
One more thing arise in to that it consist of the fiber body so remove it carefully.and after cleaning place every cable must be fitted properly if any cable is loose that case the problem arise in to that in running condition machine will shutdown all the temporary data has been removed and need to record all the data again.So before start the machine make sure all the connections are properly tight.

How To change CD DVD driver in ultrasound machine.

How To change CD/DVD driver in ultrasound machine.

CX -50 echo machine most widely use machine due to its best image quality,portability,and features.manufacturer Philips, but as we know what ever the brand name but some common issue arise in machine.

1. Can not add the patient data.
2. Can not write the CD/DVD.
3. Taking too much time while start up.
4. Not Get Charged.
5. Track ball not working.

1)Can Not Write the CD/DVD

2nd Number problem is most common in CX-50 echo machine that time there is mainly 2 ways for the troubleshoot this common problem,1)Might be dust inside the CD/DVD Writer so in that case we must have to remove it and clean the lens.2)Either need to replace the CD/DVD writer.but this machine consist very complex structure.it is one portable echo machine with very good image quality  thus many complexity inside the machine thus very difficult to open the machine but for the troubleshooting it is necessary to open the machine.follow the given steps to open the machine

1. Disconnect the power source.(From the back side of machine shown in image 1)
2. Disconnect the battery.(Bottom of machine that consist of the battery)
3. There are 4 bolts at the back side of the machine refer image 1 for that first remove it.
4. After that it opens like a gate around and completely separate from machine refer image 2
5. After that remove the probe from the right side of the machine.(If we not remove the probe thus due to the prob lock machine cant be open)
6. After care fully remove the right side and left side portion of the machine.refer the image 3 and 4
7. CD/DVD driver is clearly out side easy to pull it out.
8. Try once by just simple cleaning, because the cost of writer is too much high so before remove it it is necessary to clean it because it is similar to CD/DVD  in DVD or in laptop so cleaning of the lens is first solution after it not suitable than go for the 2nd way replace the CD/DVD writer.there is one more problem in to the machine internal socket for CD/DVD Writer but in very rare case this thing could be happen because it always fixed on its position.

please be careful while open the machine because consist of fiber body for light weight and portability purpose,

2 Can Not add patient data

When overuse of machine without taking data back up thus the internal hard disk may be corrupted.

that time mainly 2 solution of that 1) To format all the patient data that time all record has been removed from the system. 2) To update the version thus the current system removed and new system thus all past data has been removed and all preset from origin. after that easily add the patient data.

3 Track Ball Not Working.

Track ball the mostly use part in the machine. but many times dust goes inside water particle.that time track ball work slowly and due to moisture inside. it will not detect the movement.that time need to remove the track ball easily after that clean the interior part of track ball and after that fit the track ball and this problem solved by this common steps.

4 Not Get Charged.

CX-50 Consist inbuilt battery that charged with the adapter.it not consist of direct power cable.so there are mainly 2 possibilities of that 1) Some problem in to the power adapter 2) Some problem with charging socket inside the machine that time need to open the machine to troubleshoot this problem.

5) Taking Too Much Problem While Start Up.

This machine consist of 500 GB hard disk inbuilt but 100 MB image size for one patient and daily 5o patient means daily average use around 5 GB thus with in 1 month the disk become full after that low speed problem arise the best solution for that is take a data back up after use of 1 week.thus all the storage become free and machine work freely.
