    IPF6100 Please help :<

    Hey Peeps.

    I have this IPF6100.

    Turned it on and its stuck on 'close upper cover'
    I have swapped out the sensor with another to see if it that at fault but stays the same.
    I removed a head and entered service mode but still stuck on 'close upper cover'
    I can access how much ink is left when i try to enter service mode but thats about it.

    I tried to do a firmware up date with the L Printer Tool. But it says error on printer status, when i try to transfer the firmware it just comes up with error after a few mins.

    anyone know of a work around?
    Some way of tricking the PCB to think the Cover is closed?

    Like i said, the sensor is ok, just wondering about the wiring?

    I am at whits end, bought the machine in 2009 and barely used it!

    Really hope someone can help!

    Cheers in advance!

    Tom

    Wow! very detailed pin-out information there! thanks!
    Just need to figure out there on the board these pins actually are now lol!

    I will probably look at the obviouse (to me) first, The plug that goes to the upper cover sensor......Looking from the top behind the plug, which pin is which and what should i expect from each pin?
    Sorry if its in the above, couldnt see it....

    Cheers!

    Cheers!

    If you're looking at the main controller, check as many fuses as you can find. I had a problem very similar to this recently on an 8400 (new model). Ended up being a MC.

    Are there fuses on the main board?
    I found a big glass one on the main power board.
    Do you think fitting a new MC would cure a 'close upper cover' fault?

    Havnt been through the board yet checking for power. I will say one thing that i noticed, when you flick the switch up and down for the ink cover, the display kind of fades in and out indicating that there is power going to that switch out of the plug which is also used for the upper cover switch....

    I was thinking a fuse as these do tend to go and people doint replace them but just dont know where on the board they might be (or even what the tiny ones look like)! lol.

    I can hear the ink drying in the heads as i speak its taking so long for me to sort this!

    There are a lot of surface mount fuses that are very tiny. You can measure them with a meter though for continuity. Anything on the board that has the component name starting with "FU" (ex. FU2605) typically denotes a fuse.
