If you're having a problem booting your PXI controller, could you provide a bit more information? Do you see anything on the display when you try to boot? Do you ever see a Windows splash screen? Let me know and I'll be happy to help. Thanks!
I've got a similar problem. Saturday my system worked fine (PXI 8196) until I connected a USB-stick and the monitor became black. I know that there is a VGA and a DVI-monitor and I know how to switch between them. But I think thats not only the problem.
I can't boot the system anymore. To be able to switch to the VGA-monitor my keyboard should work. But it doesn't. I even cannot work with a remot desktop because the system has got a dynamical IP. And when I start the system, the aerator work but the "drive"-LED doesn't glow.
I wonder if the USB stick you plugged in had some static electricity or something. It sounds like it might have caused a hardware problem. Can you boot the controller in any other chassis? Can you boot another controller in the same chassis? I'd like to try either of those if possible, because if not, we might need to RMA the controller.
I solved the problem. I don't really know how but the system works again. We unscrewed the hole system, got off the batterie, rescrewed the system and after that it worked again.
We couldn't have a look if the chassis works fine or try the controller in an other chassis because the system is the only one here.
