Koon Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Just purchased a used Sawyer and when powered up I get this message and it seems to be looking for a password? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradcool22 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The error you are seeing is a secure Boot error, I have had this happen in linux before i would recommend is burning a external copy of linux on to a flash drive, then changing the boot order to your flash drive, then go into your bios and turn off secure boot. Then shutting down the computer and unplugging your flashdrive. I would recommend turning back on secure boot if you are worried about security. If you can't get into the bios then pull the cmos battery out for 10 minutes, (might not be a bad idea to replace the cmos battery as well since its a used robot) From Bradley (mechanical engineering student) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar issue to this on my robot. My solution ended up being replacing the SSD along with a fresh install of Intera on the SSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kroemerm Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Hi, I think i have the same problem. The robot won't boot, and if i want to make a factory reset it states: "... failed to read key data" Is it possible to get an new image or SSD, and if yes, how do i install Intera on the SSD. It would be nice to get some help. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin OETELX Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Fontys-ICT(Eindhoven) [How-To] Fixing NOT BOOTING / FAILED TO READ KEY DATA issues with the Sawyer robot I encountered the same issue, and after extensive research, we were able to resolve it. I won't bore you with all the things we looked into, such as encrypted file systems, but I will provide you with the solution directly. Underlying cause: The CMOS battery is dead, causing the BIOS to lose its real-time clock and other settings. Solution: Replace the CMOS battery, set the BIOS clock, restart a few times, and use the Shift-R and Shift-F keys to access the menu where you can restore the factory image. Make sure you have a mouse and USB keyboard handy. An additional screen with HDMI may also be useful, as there are two HDMI outputs on the PC, and not all information is displayed on the small screen. (That's how I remember it, but I could be mistaken.) Label all cables correctly, as there are several UTP cables, with multiple network interfaces, and they need to be placed back in the exact same position. The CMOS battery is located in the DELL PC, which you'll need to remove entirely. I even had to cut a wire that came through a ventilation grille. There are also two jumpers on the mainboard for secure boot/disable and another one for Clear/CMOS (unfortunately, I didn't take a photo). We did not have to enter the password in the "setup unlock", I also have no idea what the password is, or how to find it. I hope this helps anyone experiencing similar issues with their Sawyer robot!
