    1) LEARN how the processes work!
    2) PAY for a SM & PM
    3) RTFM's
    4) Learn the process for each section of the unit
    5) Find a reliable source for parts

    You end users think it is soooo fucking easy to do our job... that's why some techs crash n burn in the first few years... they ALWAYS try to find the ......." easy way out"
    Ain't no such fucking bird!

    Take slimsob's advice. A refurbished fuser is worth more than the machine @ about $360.
    Almost think a toner is worth more than the machine!
    Whatever

    I removed the Thermopylae and cleaned the lens, still the same problem. Thermopylae has a mrking B4214050 I assumed this is the part number, but it is not listed part number. Any body can help me what is the part number for the thermopile? so that I can purchse it.

    Thanks,

    That is most likely because Ricoh has discontinue the part. Like I said before, replace the damned machine. It will cost you a lot less in the long run.

    I have never replaced a thermopile. The odds of the thermopile being bad are not too good.
    The odds of you fixing the machine yourself are also not too good.
    Listen to slimslob, it's time for an upgrade.

    Ok, now I'm curious, sent him a thermopile, I want to know if it fixes it.
    One good trait that most techs have is curiosity.

    Re: Service codes SC 542 and SC552 on Rico MP C2050

    Gentlemen,

    I would like to thank every body who tried to help me. It was an RFID sensor which is soldered on a small PCB on the thermopile. Being thermopile not available, I found this sensor from a local electronics part store. Now my printer is working as it was before.

    Where there is a will, there is a way.

    Thanks,
