6PPT50.0702-10B - My T50 panel when turned on, has a black screen and nothing happens

Hello.

When I turn on my T50 power panel, the screen goes black and nothing happens. If I push the backside button while turning on the panel, it blinks and goes to a command page with the lines:

PPT-Updatesystem

ppt50 login:

But even conecting a mouse or keyboard, no input is detected.

I believe the firmware is corrupted, is there a way I can factory restore this panel?

Thank you and best regards.

Hello and welcome to the Community,

If you try to enter service pages (with the gesture or by pressing the left and right buttons simultaneously for at least 2 seconds), is it possible? Or are you asked for a password?

Thanks for having me and thank you for your time.

Unfortunately the service page doesn’t work, not with the gesture or pushing the 2 mouse buttons simultaneosly.

It was working before, but I tried to update the T50 panel with a backup from another T50 panel and in the final phase it failed.

The other T50 panel probably has a diferent firmware version and the update failed. (I used a USB FAT32 pen and made a backup from that other panel)

Both panel’s are 6PPT50.0702-10B, but one is revision C3 and the one that doesn’t work is revision A2.

Best regards

Hello,

which button do you press while turning the panel on? Can you share a photo of the screen with “PPT-Updatesystem, ppt50 login:”?

Hello and thanks again for replying.

This is the back button I’m pressing while turning ON the panel and the text/command line that appears.

I tried to use a USB keyboard on this screen, but no input is detected.

Best regards

Hello,

I have no idea what the purpose of the button is. I believe it’s not officially documented since it’s not accessible on a chassis.

Every update procedure documented in the help requires accessibility of the Service pages. That’s why I don’t see any other option apart from contacting a local B&R office and sending the T50 for a repair.

But maybe somebody else in the Community could help you.
