Canon IR Advance C2030

What is the procedure for replacing the SATA Flash on these machines?
The original complaint is when the machine is turned on, the screen is black with the power light on.
Went through the procedure in the manual for checking what is at fault, noticed that the LED on the SATA flash does not turn on, although LED 8 on the main controller 1 does.


No codes come up.

I ask because Canon says it is a non serviceable part and warn that it is one of the boards that must remain with the native machine at all times.

The serial number is not affected by the Data Erase Kit C-1 problem that Canon had either.


I have ordered a new Main Controller 1, just in case.
