MP C7500 with SC 542

[Geo]

Hi Kids...

I have been given the fun job of trying to resurrect a MP C7500. The box sat 4 years unused and when turned on gave a SC 542 error. I replaced all the thermistors (heat and press ) , cleared the code and I was able to run multiple test copies. This was done at the end of a Fri work week. The following Mon. customer called back with a the same code. Checked the outlet and all thermistors, lamps and thermofuses ..all seem to be OK.
The copier will reset the code and will self check for several min before codeing out. I did check the temps during warm up and all modes were reading temp increases. I checked the SM for default temps but they are not provided and no birth recorders exist for this copier. Could the set temps be too low or high? Does anybody have the " default " setting ? Is a setting in service mode not properly set.?
Any thoughts , ideas and solutions would be much appreciated.

Thanks much
P.S. Are we having fun yet...

SP 1105 in the service manual gives the default as 170 degree C.

From Goose's guide:

SC 542	Heating roller themistor error- Thermistor defective
SC 542	Heating roller themistor error- Thermostat defective
SC 542	Heating roller themistor error- Fusing lamps defective

If you do not have and use Goose's Guide you should. It has been posted here multiple times. Find it and download.

Some models can tell you what values were recorded by each thermistor at the time of the SC.

SP1-113 Fusing SC Issue Time Info, even though it is marked as DFU should be accessible.
