Minolta 4050 C0040 error

I cant believe you remembered the back cover sensor gives you the same code, as soon as I read it it sort of came back to me.......... To much Grey Goose over the years I guess, but good call!

I know you can't really be a tech, we can't afford Grey Goose, Absolute is splurging for us.

Somebody please help me!!!!!!!!!

You can remove the fan, disassemble it, and add a little grease or oil to the rubber bushings on each end. If its not been used for a while that may be the problem. If it spins freely when you touch it you need to replace it.

THANKS TO ALL.
After fiddling with if for days and contemplating opening the back, found that small connector was loose - that solved it!!!
