today, I tried method #119811 : go to safe mode by pressing "default" button, it didn't work. the screen showing:
Special BOOT Action- None
The step by step instructions in technote 119811 are very specific and very clear. However, with so many "Modes" being mentioned it may be easy to become confused.
Note: First connect a USB keyboard to the terminal...
When you press the "DEFAULT" button the terminal is started in "Maintenance Mode" and not "Safe Mode". In Maintenance Mode you must then select, using the USB keyboard, which "Special BOOT Action" you require.
When you see the initial option set to...
Special BOOT Action -
None
You must then use the
LEFT &
RIGHT arrow keys on the USB keyboard to change from "
None" to "
Safe Mode"...
Special BOOT Action -
Safe Mode
Once Safe Mode has been selected as the BOOT option, you must then navigate, again using the USB keyboard, up to...
Continue booting with selected options
Then press "Enter" on the USB keyboard and the terminal should reboot into Safe Mode. What Safe Mode does is load into the terminal Configuration Mode instead of running the FactoryTalk View ME Station software and loading and running the application.
As I said, the technote is quite clear. Nothing I have explained here is not in that technote. I am merely reaffirming its instructions.
Please read and follow the technote steps as fastidiously as you can.
