MX5001 back half of black images greatly faded

[Akitu]

I just recently fixed a 5001 with this same problem using the seal, upon examination I wasn't seeing any spilled toner or DV, however the black dev unit was almost entirely empty within a matter of 2 months the first time I went to replace it after I first started troubleshooting it. They hadn't even done 5k. Wouldn't hurt to check, and as of yet I'm still not 100% certain my own 5001 is fixed, but unfortunately it's one of those fixes you throw in the machine and just wait and see. Haha

Just to quote myself, it would appear my own machine was fixed as well. Glad to see it was a board issue and it's been resolved! Happy Thanksgiving to yourself as well, 'tis your season.

Re-quote myself. I spoke too soon, another month and a half down the line and my machine has pulled itself empty again. I'm going to look into my PTB and MC PWB, see if my results are any similar to yours.

Akitu - so how has it gone for you? Is it now resolved?
