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.
