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.
