Sharp UPV5500: Running Slow

Created by Alex Schipor, Modified on Mon, 19 Dec, 2022 at 1:06 PM by Alex Schipor

This can be caused by a wide variety of factors.


Possibilities include:


  • Microsoft Security Essentials running
    • Best course of action is to uninstall this
  • Long power on time (possibly related to PosTray also)
    • Restart the whole till system. This will probably require walking customer through this as till will appear in Teamviewer but you cannot dial in.
  • HDD going faulty
    • 5500 hard drives can fail a fair bit, and if they are running slow after the above solutions have been tried, it could be a hard drive failure.
    • Always make sure there are backups available as if drive fails it is basicallly impossible to get data off.
