Do you mean the control board placed on the HDD?
If so, the circuit board must be for the same series HDD. Normally the same size as well. I have replaced boards in the same series, but with...

Hi,

A customer came in with a CLX3160N which almost always displays Deve home sensor error. I have cleaned the sensor, and the sensor flag. The were not dirty as far at I could see. But still, at...

I have dragged/towed a copier behind a car once. Used a chain directly to the frame, in two placed and just gave gas. In a turn it started to rotate a lot and parts were flying. Then it went outside...

I hope it suffered BAD :D

We have 1 Ricoh AF 550 and a few AF1060/1075.. They are all in daily use. Very few problems.

And last year I was on a FT6645 I think it was.. it is still in use today as far as I know. I remember...

It can not be all patents.
Economy or management must take a lot of the blame. Remember an older model you used to service, that had a good design that worked very good AND it worked good for a LONG...

What the f***!! Have I been changing all those parts for so many years - and I could have used a complete PCU?

When I service the 1018, 2018, 3025 AND not to forget the Adonis series 450, 1045,...

Hi,

I have not checked the image on the transfer belt. . have not crossed my mind at all. I will check when I visit the customer again.

I scanned the page counter from the machine. It's about...

I have tried to calibrate the machine and forced line position and stuff like that, with no luck.

Prints look perfect in both color and B/W.. just that there are grey vertical lines. Almost...

Hi,

I have a MPC5501 with more or less faint/shadow like vertical lines (not horizontal like dirty charge roller lines..).
A bit difficult to scan an example, but I have tried. The scanner...

Welcome to my life.... I can change these drums with a blindfold.
This is common at least here in Norway. Usually when we go from autum to winter and the air becomes dry.
I probably change 15-25...

Hi,

I didn't even remember the SP5985, but it was set to on. I have testet cables, different ports on the router and connected it to my laptop with no luck.. maybe I'm going to check internal...

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with a MPC 3501 where the network "card" part in not working properly. There is only light in one LED (yellow) on the network connector/port/receptacle (what's the...

It has to do with pricing and pricing politics.

They can not sell very expensive toner/cartridges in a developing country, or a country with low prices/wages in general. So toner and cartridges...

It all has to do with the market that the machine is used in.

How much does it cost to service the machine? How much does the tech make? How much does your company pay in rent a month? How much...

If you have the time, you should read the detailed section in each service manual for the machines that you do service on.
It will give you detailed knowledge on how each machine work - and it will...

I've had one (on a 2060) where a lamp connector was shorted to ground. The insulation had a cut, and the machine would not start up.
Very quickly to check, to rule that out.

Most likely a toner pump that have to be changed. Fairly common error on this model.

<snip> What does changing sp2210 to 5 do exactly? <snip>

When you are in service program mode(SP) enter 2-210 change the original value from 10 to 5. It is how ofter the machines does a ID...

I think you can just enter user tools to change that.
Just press the user tools butten when you are in fax mode. Press fax and then enter the function number for the key op. settings and press the...

After you have replaced the ink tank you have to let the machine know it has been replaced. You must reset the counter at SP7804-005.

I like Ricoh but I hate tha Adonis series in all forms (AF450 - MP5000). I hate the smaller B/W boxes too (but not that much). Everything slower then 60 pages a minute is rubbish. I like the Ricoh...

I have a B/W copier (60 pages a minute) that I service myself. It cost less then a 1 cent a page - not including the paper. Using original toner.
I also have a color laser copier (25 pages a minute)...

Yeah. It would be interesting to hear what happend.

I've got a friend that started for himself about 3-4 years ago.
Ha had collected quite a few service manuals, and gets more from friends. If...

That's good to hear. Just hope I don't need to bring with me too many PCU's for this machine. My car is full of toner, spare parts and one box containing 1 cubic meter (or 35.3 cu ft if you like :))...
