For the PCU50.3 there is no longer a DOS-service menu available, this has been
replaced by the Service Center.
This is based on WindowsPE, a Windows version, which can be started from a CD
or another data medium (also from not writeable data medium).
The Service Center can be handled like a normal Windows pogram with the
mouse.
Attach data carrier (USB stick min. 4GB or an external HD with USB connec-
tion) to the USB port.
Start PCU in service mode and start Service-Center (link on desktop).
