I think I will try that just for kicks before I remove.Ever thought about useing a piece of tape to hold OUT on the screen in different areas. Been there done it just to get by
until replaced.
We had same problem with "Fatal 3A" message on our Panelview plus 600.
First I was searching for an answers from web (and found this).
But, after reading thru, I felt it might be repaired by itself.
So I removed from enclosure, shut the power off, noticing there is clear plastic cover over the battery. So I removed the battery, waited about 10 sec. and re-booted the panel. Wow..what happened?? It booted fine and now it is running like champs before. I won't say it will work (or luckily) for everyone but, something to try, I guess...

Did RA tell you they could not remanufacture this unit ?
Or do you just always buy aftermarket hardware instead of OEM repairs ?
I'm genuinely curious about whether or not RA is offering repair or remanufacturing services for the original PV+600 hardware. I have several in service, too.

If your terminal had a POST 32 Battery Test Failure error, similar to the POST 3a Stuck Touch error in this thread, then I'm sure you would have to find out what battery they mean.
The PanelView Plus terminals do indeed have a "user" replaceable battery, but that "user" is usually supposed to be a "Service Technician", or suitable high fangled titled person who thinks they are better than the rest. :nodi:
Us being us, we don't give a hoot and will open anything and attempt any and all manner of repairs. Sure what can be the harm, right?
Hootless folk this way...

Ken,
We use Lektronix for all our AB repairs. They are a "Rockwell Automation Business" and globally represented. I'm sure you have heard of them or have seen some of us mention them here from time to time?
They do just about anything Allen Bradley and most other leading manufacturers equipment as well. We get the likes of SLCs, PV550, PV+300, 600 and 1000 repaired and returned as good as new with a 12 month warranty. They also have a great stock of second hand or refurbished equipment for sale, but repairs are their main forte. Some branches do sales and repairs. Some only do sales. I'm not sure if the US branches do repairs but you could check into it?
Lektronix North America
This is a sample search for PV+600 Touch (2711P-T6) on the US website...

If they do repairs over your way you can request a free repair quotation.
When you get repaired equipment back they are like new and packed as though you had just bought them. We had a PV+600 recently repaired with a failed backlight. That was our second similar PV+600 repair in as many years. Just recently we got a failed PV+1000 repaired and one is away at the moment for a replacement bezel due to an over zealous operator.
The pictures attached in the Dropbox link are of one of a couple of PV550 we had them repair last year. They come back with a new display protector, dust protector and refurbished date sticker on them (e.g. 2014/01) We even get the PV550 replacement lamp kits from them like new...

Excellent service, I must say.

I realize this thread is pretty old but this might help if anyone has a 3a error like I had.
recently had a "fatal error 3a" on a panelview 1000 during boot up. After ripping it apart I figured out that the digitizer for the screen was messed up. I unplugged the digitizer from the monitor and it booted up no problem and we were able to use a mouse to operate the hmi. So basically we got a fatal 3a error because the touch screen was defective. I don't know if that error is directly related to the digitizer or just a general hardware fault but that's what worked for me.
