So after noodling on it last night. I figured I'd let the machine continue the boot process in hopes of understanding if a motor drive board was bad or something else of that nature.
After hooking up the transmit pin to pin 1 of the serial port and starting to log it, I got this bit of information...
Before i give the long debug, I will say this:
It did print a configuration page of the printer. So it does print.
The hard drive is shot. Like. Cant even format it shot. I hooked it up to my linux box and tried to recover it but it wont respond to anything. Even a repartition order. I am not sure if i would get a UI error from it or if there is anything i need from the hard disk for it to boot, but it is toast.
The entire log can be found here:
