This MFC 9130cw is the first Brother color laser I've had to work on. Sometimes it prints fine but MOST of the time the image will get fade out until it's blank (see samples). The service manual lists several possible causes for blank or uneven density problems, including the main pcb and the LED pcb, but I wanted to find out if this series is prone to any particular component failure. All supplies are OEM. Only 5,400 pages have been printed on this machine but it's out of warranty. All drums, belt & fuser have 65% or higher life remaining and toner cartridges are almost full. Stopping the printer in the middle of a cycle shows no toner on the belt, but the belt has a charge on it.
Here are 4 sample pages, the first one shows how the page should look, the last one is almost blank. The right side of each image is the leading edge.

Thanks in advance.
