Olympus microscope power supply error

Hi all
  I am having a reoccurring error when users try to switch between BI  
and LSW mode on our FV500 system. The scope is old but running the  
latest version of FloView software on a computer we purchased from  
Olympus last year. I do not have a service contract on the machine  
because of its age so I am hoping one of you out there might know how  
to get this fixed.  We have had the issue in the past and was able to  
reset it- now it is happening with alarming frequency.

this is what I sent to Olympus:

  I am getting a weird error on our confocal. In Floview, when a user  
switches between BI and LSW mode it causes an error message:

MalGetPrisimStatus(hScopeDriver) Error Code 1025

In addition, the scope power box is lighting up with errors:

the PRC is flashing green
the RMT is orange
and the ERR is flashing red.

I am not sure what to do- in the past week we have been able to reset  
the system by logging out of Floview and restarting the microscope  
power supply. This would fix it for several weeks- now it is happening  
every day and almost every time a person goes to scan.



Any suggestions are welcome to try and fix this before paying for a  
service call.


Best
  Julia
