it's inside the unit. It's not made for customers to touch. You have to disassemble the unit to see and clean it.

There is no sawtooth main charger in this model. Sawtooth came with eS163.

This is a well known issue with PU - imaging units and contacts/leakage. In order to solve the problem You have to put a fix - cables between transfer unit and HV board... It is no longer supplyed and helps only in 90% of the cases. 100% solution is to change the whole developer unit with working one.

I'm aware of this issue. Have heard of it some while ago from coleagues, but i don't know what or where to check. Is the separation charger leaking? Or is it the developer station the problem? Can't seem to figure out this one. The machine worked fine until a while ago. 160k copies and same pu unit.

It starts with PU and the fix is just a crutch for the problem. My opinion is that Toshiba has produced a lot of these PUs and cheaper way to solve the problem is the fix. Didn't go in deep of the problem because I always keep near at hand old working developer part of PU. In 30% of cases cleaning contacts between PU and main unit, and right door and main unit is a tentative decision before setting the fix or changing PU (or dev part of the PU).
