Surely the product is supported and will be replaced if defective? |

i dont think they would do anything as i had it a year. there no quality control check on these units they should benchmark them or do a soak test to make sure the power supply is fully working lucky i checked for updates of the firmware as this is running out end of this month. the fault is missing voltage on the target drive source. any advice has anyone else had this issue |

It doesn't sound like a difficult fault to troubleshoot. If you upload some detailed photos or scans, I would be interested in having a look for you. |

No, but I own a brain, and I've repaired more than a thousand power supplies, in all kinds of equipment, without schematics. The fault appears to be a simple power supply issue. If so, then any competent technician (ie one that doesn't rely on board swaps) will be able to troubleshoot it without too much difficulty. In any case, I'm curious as to what the product looks like. Who knows, I may even buy one. |

There is one year warranty on the Atola tools. Bet, any agent who sold this device is able and happy to assist in checking this specific tool - or to give you some hints to do that yourself. Its definitely no big deal to test this system .... +++ |

Hello Craig, We resolve this kind of issues very quickly and efficiently. All you had to do is to drop us an email. Anyway, Walter already offered help. Just to clarify: how exactly are you powering up the target drive? Older versions of Atola Insight software will not allow you to power on the target drive; power will be applied only when needed (for example, when imaging to Target drive). Newer versions have a separate Target Power ON/OFF override button. About the HASP SRM system: Quote: this has to do with the machine talking to the remote serve. license management The "remote server" in this case is the DiskSense unit itself. It does not communicate outside of your local network. |

This thread doesn't make any sense. |

Hello Craig, You can downgrade the software (it will also downgrade the firmware automatically if required); if you have a specific issue about the downgrade, then please elaborate. All previous versions are on the same download page. Do not worry about the subscription. You will always be able to install any version that came out before subscription expiration date. A quote from FAQ: Quote: Q:Will Atola Insight stop working after subscription expiration date? A: No, it will not. You can use Atola Insight forever, however, you will not be able to install versions that came out after your subscription expiration date. In other words, you can use any version of Atola Insight that was released prior to your subscription expiration date. This applies to Atola Insight, Atola Imager, and Atola Forensic Imager. Anyway, I would like to concentrate on the missing target power issue. Please take two good (healthy) drives; attach them to the DiskSense unit and start imaging from one drive to another. Will the imaging begin? Will Target drive power on automatically? |

Post subject: | Re: Atola Imager fail to many issues |
In the support request you've submitted through our website today you mentioned that your unit has a Target Power ON/OFF override button. This is impossible; we only put Source HDD power ON/OFF buttons on the unit. Target HDD is powered on and off automatically by the software when required. In the latest versions of the software it is possible to control (override) power of the Target drive. I've sent you a private message about that yesterday. |

hi ok looks like there a bug in the programming the target off/on button does not work at all it wont select off or on but when i start imaging the drive lights up automatic on the target drive lights up when i stop the drive from imaging it goes off but the target button in the program does not work at all when you press on or off the unit light does not come on so it looks there a issue in possible firmware update or the inbuilt software anychance you could sort this out dmitry thank you |

Post subject: | Re: Atola Imager fail to many issues |
Craig, I have checked with the developers; it appears that the target power ON button has not yet been added to the software (it is scheduled to be released in the next version of the software). The only button you can find now for Target port is Power Off (there is no On button because power is applied automatically by the software). I am sorry for the confusion. Can you please take a screenshot of your Atola Imager screen? You can post it here. Thank you. |
