I admit I am not all knowledgeable on Thin Clients. I purchased this ThinClient from E-bay for around $150.00 but when I start, it's showing the message,

"Invalid or damaged Bootable partition".

I thought no worries, I will just download the iso and install the thin OS.

I downloaded ThinLinux, used the USB Imaging Tool 3.1, and created a boot-able USB.

Disabled Secure Boot & cleared the TPM, restarted the ThinClient but when I start trying to puch the USB image with ThinLinux (1.0.7_Z50Q_D50Q_merlin), I am seeing the following message:

 

Error while validating security key. (error code:233).
Please review the following reason may be Error while validating security key. (error code:233).
-Eeprom validation
- Mismatch between Security key of the device and security key present in the XML file of the image package.
- Check if you are trying to deploy correct image for the intended platform, Re-register the correct image package.

 

I think this Thin-Client either came with Windows 7 as this is what I see when I am trying to push the image:

Model # Zx0Q
Media Size: 16GB
System: Windows 7 32-Bit

Merlin version 3.8.3

Any help or pointer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
