    had it the other day, i fixed it by putting a 2nd hand drum in it. the new drum was in for less than half a day. PTSC say that the techs in Sydney are "adjusting" (stretching) the springs that put the pressure on the blade. I don't know how successful they have been.
    would like to say i have a fix because i have been putting off fitting another new drum while the 2nd hand one works - don't know if i am just going to end up with more of the same.
    Cheers.
    The force will be with you always.

        Yes, only one in territory. Flipped about 5 blades so far. No.

        Waiting for KM to come out with a CB that is has more meat and just a bit longer (in the short dimension) to cut down on the incidence angle to the drum.

          Konica releases a firmware fix for this 30GCA, however I dont know how well it works. I have installed this firmware on a notorious c6500 for this issue. I think they called back one more time after that for blade flip. I havent heard anything else about it since then. Its been a couple of months.

          Check the database, there are alsosome dipswitches to set, I recommend maxing out those settings.

                    Some success with stretching the original (gold) c6500 springs or fitting c500 springs(better bet).Know of one that flipped with c500 springs. I swopped c500 blade and springs and fitted it to c6500 drum, great success. Have a go.

                      random instead of using just the springs from the c500/8050 use the springs from old drum and order the c500 cleaning bladeas well you will see the blade is much longer and will glide better.
                      this also solves the toner build up on the drums (a little more mony ess problems).

                            Change a new one!the blade so bad!

                            请换新的刀片 换了之后再加安装粉

                            也许是那刀片太差了
