I'm guessing Ricoh is trying hard to stay ahead of us on these.
Hello folks,
I don't know if this has been covered before, just thought I'd share what I've just tried successfully. Ricoh have made these drums a bit trickier to rebuild, comparing to the MPC3000 drums, so it's almost impossible to swap the cable harness as a whole.
The first thing you need to do is shift two cables, since the black drum has the two crossed (as you can see in the picture) and the color drum has them straight. Just lift the plastic stopper (1) and pull the cables (2). Just change their places.

Second thing is that the RJ45-alike connector on the back of the drum (the end that goes into the machine) is different as well. On the black drum the right side is cornered, but on the color drum it's the opposite. Just grind the left side down, but be careful so you don't brake the connector.

Well that's it guys, hope it's useful!

You never realize how cheap a professional is until after you let an amateur do it.

For us it's a difference of over 5200 SEK per unit. Feel that! (no I'm not kidding!) It's lousy being a retailer sometimes...
Yikes!Hehe that's nothing man

Hehe yeah well let's just say you get a little extra creativeYikes!
Peace sells, but who's buying?
Doh, just swap the whole loom over! From the old pcu to the new
Yep that'll work too. Work being the operative word there. I think modding the connector and harness may be easier.

Having tried both methods many times, trust me taking out 3 screws and swapping a bunch of wires is a lot easier.
Always glad to hear alternative views.
