I have to teach in the University of Cape Verde tomorrow, and the CCD on
the their Leica ICC50 HD stopped working. This is Africa, in midlle of
the Atlantic Ocean, no possible supprot from leica or alike, any help
would be highly appreciated.
In short, this is a plug-in USB CCD from Leica, in principle you should
plug-it in and that's it. But neither the Leica software, windows or mac
recognize it. Windows tries to install it, but gives an error.
Last year it was working, and the local people report no incident. There
is a light on the side that should be green and is read. A red button
that should beep and do things after 2 or 5 secs of continuous
preessing, but nothing happens. And a kind-off re-boot orifice on the
back that the manual states to be used by leica technicians, which I
also tried to press for 10 secs without no consequence.
Any suggestions? or is it really dead? Thanks. Again I have 13 students
of the local BioMEd PhD program and this is the ONLY microscope on the
University, I'm bringing origami foldscopes, but some of the preps I
want to see will not work that way, I really have to demonstrate on screen
