1045 Repair in Dallas Tx

ahkloan · 05-08-2009

I am looking for someone in the Dallas Texas area that can repair a Ricoh 1045. It has thrown a code and will not continue working without servicing. If you know anyone who does this on the side or even a professional repair company that can repair inexpensively that would be great. I have learned some things about my copier since being on here. TIA

Thanks for posting the link. I was wanting to see if there were any guys who work on the side maybe on the weekends or something to make some extra money. I will check with some dealers and see what kind of prices i can get.

If you post the code, we may be able to at least let you know how deep you might be getting into with service.

Some codes aren't too big of a deal, and may only require a one hour visit from a tech.

well now its not throwing a code but dumping toner like crazy. the green drum thing has toner all over it and leaving a black stripe down one side of prints. ill see if i can find the kit that i replaced last year. it came with everything to replace the drum in a kit with gloves and extra cleaner

Really, seriously stop being a tight fisted tw@t and get yo cheque book out and pay a professional to service the machine, somebody who actually knows what a ' green drum thang' is

This is the reason we are not respected and our job is not included as a trade. A "pair of gloves and a green thing" and everybody will fix a copier.
Every day I hear the same story "I'm working with a copier since I was a kid...don't teach ME!!"...and every day people brake "things" in copiers and they don't give a s....

Friendly Advice: Don't get your hands dirty with toner and dev and don't inhale the "unknown" content existent inside those bottles. Let a "toner turd" who will anyway die young and unknown to do it.
