250ci light on side in color only

as i understand the problem related to laser unit , you need to clean laser unit + polygon motor and it will solve your problem

I pulled one from a machine at the shop. When you say clean the motor, do you go in from the top or the bottom? The top is sealed. I'm sure both would work but I thought I would ask since you have done this before.

Not yet. I am going back this week with a laser unit from a shop machine and try that first. If that doesn't work I will look at dev units. All dev units are new though. Although I'm new to Kyocera I just don't know if 2 or more dev units would be bad out of PM kit. But again I'm new.

Pulled laser from shop machine. Cleaned it up and installed in on Machine in field. Works great.

I did open the bad one from field machine when I got back to shop. It was obvious the problem was polygon mirror motor needed cleaning.

Thanks everyone for you help.

The trail edge of the polygon motor will get dust built up resulting in what you experienced, even if they're sealed relatively well.
It's always light on the front frame side as the polygon must spin counterclockwise.
I've cleaned quite a few 5500i & 6500i's as well.
