Ricoh Aficio MP301SPF not warming up

[Keegan Chetty]

Hi guys,

Please could you assist, I have a problem with a MP301, as soon as I switch it on it shows that it is warming up and keeps saying please wait, I cannot make copies or even print out a counter list, tried changing BICU, controller, drum unit, side door and fuser but still nothing. the machine is on, no SC codes but it cannot do anything. any ideas?

thank you

Have you tried disconnecting the HDD ? usually a faulty drive would cause this

[Keegan Chetty]

Nope, this one has no hard drive, I'm just changing the power supply now, that could be the cause.

[Keegan Chetty]

No luck with the power supply either now I've got an SC542 to deal with as well, cleared it but I know it will come up again. Changed the fuser again but nothing also.

Did the customer have a power loss before the issue started? Have you tried reinstalling the system firmware?

Did you swap the RAM DIMMS when you replaced the controller board???

[Keegan Chetty]

I'm puzzled guys, I have basically changed every part in the machine, Controller with the original NV RAM and with the machine NV RAM, fuser, BICU, High voltage board, power supply, fuser, PCU, side door. It is a refurb so I have no idea which customer it came from. You think it could be the firmware?

hello!

Please try the memory replaced

Are there any SC logged in SP mode/sc history? Some aren't displayed by it's own. You can also try and perform a memory clear. You can pick "clear all" if you have a birth sheet - otherwise I'd avoid claring the engine related stuff during the first attempt. Does the hot roller heat up despite the message?
