    iR5055

    Anybody had many issues with the Main Controllers on this machine?
    They seem to be seriously flakey in certain batches.
    I've had two in as many days fall over ....in one the symptom was a blank LCD...green light on and the machine did initial rotation.
    Cleaned the bootrom,ram and all the sub pcb's but the only way I could get a stable screen was a different Main Controller.
    Today I went to a machine with an E749-0003 error code....it's not in the manual.
    I found mention of it in Canon's Techbase and the only way the tech could fix it was a Main Controller clear.
    Bearing in mind I couldn't connect to the RUI to backup mailboxes and address books I had to go ahead and do the clear.
    Ironically after clearing the board the print network chose that exact moment to fall over so of course I thought I'd killed the machine
    Connected my laptop via crossover and breathed a sigh of relief when I was able to ping and print.
    These two machines however make the number of Main Controllers I've replaced 5...anyone else having issues??

      I've had a couple issues with main controller-blank screen, etc.
      Over all I've had good fortune with this model, but a couple have made up for it!

          My main issue with these so far has been how susceptible they are to E000-E004 codes. If someone even farts anywhere near to these beasties they pop a fuser code They share this trait with their iR5000 progenitors...

              Don't even get me started with fixing codes on these. But thank the lord we haven't had many controller PCB issues.
              Is the glass half full or half empty? I say neither. The glass is obviously full, full of potential. The potential to hold more water or the potential to quench a thirst. Life is all about how you see it.

                  Had one out of the box that jammed in the finisher.You could pull the finisher out about 6 to 8 inches and it wouldnt jam....but when you mounted the finisher to the machine it would jam on the first copy.Turned out to the main controller.

                      Yeah we've got a few 5055's that keep popping E004 errors...even AFTER replacing the entire UFR assy.
                      The main controller fixed the blank screen issue I was having....just this second got back from the job...the only saving grace that was everything already in the machine...IP adresses,mailboxes and adress books must have all be written to ram or the HDD coz I didn't have to re-enter one single customer setting into the machine and as soon as I had the last cover on the machine they were straight back printing and praising me as a hero...LMAO
