mike11918 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I am having a problem with my Kodak G3 Kiosk and was wondering if anyone could help. The kiosk software no longer loads. When I turn it on, I get an error message saying that "One or more services failed to start and to contact a Kodak representative." The services that are listed as not starting are: Print Fulfiller Hard Disk Fulfiller Cd Index Spec Gen Worker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike11918 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thx Frenchman but I can't even startup the kiosk. I get this message and can go no further. My only options from the screen is to make diagnostic disk or reboot. Neither one helps. If anyone has an idea how to fix this problem I would greatly appreciate the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor brown Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Have you tried taking the battery out of the board, then replacing it, you should be able to reset the bios then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know where to get the recovery DVD or CD to reinstall the Kodak software like the Frenchman says? Or any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskaro Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Try to restore the OS by presiding the F11, but chose OS, not the application. After that you have to reinstall the application, and you will need initialization CD and application DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike11918 Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 When I press f11 I only have option for the application not to os. I do have the initialzation and application CDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike11918 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Is it possible to use a windows 2000 installation Cd to reinstall the operating system and then use the kodak initialization Cd to install the Kodak Kiosk software? Does anyone know by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskaro Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 You should have two restore position, one with XP installation and drivers, and another position would be after application installation, this would be normal installation. Manual installation would not work, contact Kodak for Recovery CD. You could try manually to reinstall the V1.5 application that you have, by killing the process from the kiosk (all associated, including hanging ones), using task manager, then go to new task, explorer.exe and start the setup manually. Maybe you will be lucky and you will solve the problem without recovery CD. After this (if working), it would be good to make ghost image from complete hard drive, just in case.

mike11918 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 thanks pskaro. I don't know the password to get to task manager. When I press ctrl alt del it asks for a password. None of the passwords I do know work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskaro Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Try this: 789632 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike11918 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I have doesn't work. Neither does 741963 bluec***. Do you happen to know where I can get a recovery cd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike11918 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well, I called Kodak directly and asked for the recovery Cd and it turns out the recovery CD is rather expensive. If anyone has the S.35LS recovery cd for the kodak kiosk, please let me know. Thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskaro Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Strange that password was not accepted, this is copy from service manual: Password protection of CTRL-ALT-DEL: 789632 Regarding the Recovery CD, yes it is expensive because it is coming with licence for windows.

mike11918 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well, guys, I have some great news! I was able to recover my Kodak G3 Kiosks. Here's how I did it. I made a Ghost Image from a working Kodak G3 Kiosk and made the CD a bootable. I then took the bootable CDs and put them onto the Kiosk that was no longer working. I booted from the CDs and restored the Ghost Image that I made from the good Kiosk and, viola!, I got myself a perfectly working Kiosk again! Yay me!

pskaro Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Excellent work, I would suggest same thing for everybody who own a kiosk without Recovery CD. By the way in the past Recovery CD was hidden in one envelope which was glued to the bottom off the kiosk. This was for G3, on the newer G4 Kodak is not giving the Recovery CD (maybe in some countries ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchman Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 If the kodak sofware V1.5 or upper is not installed ,the password 789632 dont run.Try blucard or 22 frenchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
