Omni 3200 "BAD EPROM" message

To prevent the unauthorized use of System Mode functions, the Omni
3200 terminal firmware requires that you key in a System Password
each time you enter System Mode.
The default System Password, which is pre-set at the factory, is:
[1] [ALPHA] [ALPHA] [6] [6] [8] [3] [1]
Note: For terminals that do not yet have an application program
stored in their memory, password entry is not required to enter
System Mode. Simply press the [CLEAR] key when the message
DOWNLOAD NEEDED
is displayed.When you key in the correct password, the terminal enters System
Mode and the System Prompt is displayed. The System Prompt
consists of two parts: the word
SYSTEM=
and the terminal's
firmware version ID, in
VPQXXYYZ
format. (For more information
about the System Prompt, see the section entitled "The System
Prompt" below.)
In System Mode, you can the select a procedure to change the default
password to a unique and more secure password. When you set a new
System Password, be sure to keep a copy of the new password in a
secure place.
A valid System Password may consist of from one to ten
alphanumeric characters. You can change the system password at any
time, provided you know what the current password is.
When you key in the System Password to enter System Mode, an
asterisk (*) appears on the display for each character you type,
obscuring the password you are entering from general view.
However, when you press the [ALPHA] key as part of a System
Password, no asterisk is displayed.
Note: Some application program downloads automatically reset the
System Password.
Caution: If you change the System Password and then forget it, there
is no method to determine what the forgotten password is. Losing or
forgetting the password will block access to System Mode functions
and prevent you from requesting a download, performing remote
diagnostics, or changing any of the information already stored in
memory. The terminal can, however, continue to process transactions
in Normal Mode. If you forget or lose the password to your terminal,
please contact your local VeriFone representative for assistance.

1. SYSTEM= (Firmware ID) - Press [BACKSPACE] to initiate the destructive
   memory test.
2. MEMORY TEST MEM WILL BE LOST PRESS FUNC IF OK - Three prompts are displayed to warn you that a destructive memory test has been initiated, and to inform you that the contents of the SRAM will be lost if you proceed with the test.
3. Press [FUNC/ENTER] to proceed with the test. To end the memory test and return to the System Prompt prompt, press any key on the core keypad other than [FUNC/ENTER].
4. MEMORY TEST (or) MEMORY -OK- (or) MEMORY ERROR - The memory test runs continuously until you stop the test. During the test, the message displayed on the terminal
   screen alternates between MEMORY TEST and MEMORY -OK-. The message MEMORY -OK- indicates that no memory problems were detected during the previous test.
   NOTE: If a problem is detected during the test, the error message ***BAD RAM*** is displayed. If you see this message, contact your local VeriFone representative for assistance.
5. To stop the test, press any key while the MEMORY -OK- message is displayed. The message MEMORY ERROR is then displayed to indicate that the contents of the memory were erased during the test.
6. Press [CLEAR] to return to the System Prompt.

Also browse to the NIC, enter Admin mode and set the connection timeout for E-mail to 300 seconds.

First this is a credit card terminal from Verifone. That file error means the internal memory is wiped. Sometimes it can be recovered sometimes it can't.

At the error screen hit FUNCTION and 7 together it will ask for a password. 1 Alpha alpha 66831 then enter or function. If it says SYSTEM= VP......... Try hitting the 0 then enter and enter again if it works it will dial to your bank for a new download. If it dials and does not connect give me a call.

Eat that machine because it is fried. The internal memory is completely corrupt sometimes you can recover though depending on how bad it is.

Try this at the error screen hit enter and 7 at the same time it should prompt for the password.

1 ALPHA ALPHA 66831 if it works it will say SYSTEM=VP........ hit 0 then enter and then enter again it should dial out to your merchant account provider and redownload the file. give me a call if that doesn't work.

The printer needs to be replaced. I do have the printer mechs for the Omni 3200s which I sell for $50.

This means that the memory in the unit is wiped out. If your processor is not able to reload the unit over the phone lines, you will need to get a replacement unit.

Unless you are doing download procedure wrongly, this is either a problem with pre-installed firmware, or hardware (faulty memory). The first one is more likely.
If you are sure you did download procedure ok, then you have to send the machine back to omni for repair or replacement. they are the only ones that can do this kind of service, as for security reasons firmware image for this kind of machines is not distributed.
First ensure you are not doing the download procedure wrong, then find Omni contact at the end of your manual.

Here is the manual
Here is a supplement on download procedures

Got the same VRR.2 ERROR message, but when I reset (hold 6 and enter and the same time for a few seconds) it went back to the main screen. Hopefully I didn't clear any important information!
