I know this is a confocal mailing list but we are quite desperate. We have an ultramicrotome from Leica, the EM UC6 model. Two days ago, we worked with it all morning, we turned it off and later it could not initialize again. "Operating system not found" is the message that appears on the screen every time we try to turn it on. Leica says it is an obsolete equipment and they have no spare parts to replace it (the chip or component), and they cannot provide us with the software. This implies buying a whole new equipment. We wonder if anyone either has the software or an idea of how to boot up the system, as we think we could try to do it ourselves. Thank you very much in advance.

The problem is the corrupted Operative System y a card inside the UC7 touchscreen. If you know someone with and intact UC6 you cold try to clone a new one. It is incredible for me that Leica doesn't support UC6 ultramicrotomes. They are relatively new models.
