    C5051 with HDD Mirror and encrpt kit. Needs Main PCB 2 replaced. Considering a Swap

    I have a C5051 that needs the Main PCB 2 replaced. Easy enough job but the machine has a 2 hdd Mirror and data encrypt board. The Customer doesnt need that security so I thought about Swapping out the whole Main 1 and 2 DC Controller Unit. This is because I have a Good C5051 Unit with just one drive and think it might be easier to just swap the whole Unit. The Manual warns to not use a used DC cont in another machine, but I could use the same DC Cont. from Sick machine. However Main 1 Main 2 and the HDD would be different.

    I may just replace Main 2, i want to make sure I am rid of a connection problem. Plus the Security features are more things to break.

    Replace Main 2, Format/ Load system Software/ turn raid on and input Settings from P print might be the way to go. Im just new to a mirror kit being involved. Does that sound good?
    I have used Canon Imagerunner parts for sale. Most are floor model Color and / Advances Imagerunner with some 3025 3235 parts. Several intact machines being parted.

    SST handled the questions of security good enough. TPM wasn't on and the mirror wasn't in use either. In the restoration process a non original Canon Ram was located in the top right. Error 732-8888 on that but only with optional Postscript memory removed. Changing the 1 gb ram to an OEM ram gave an error about the additional PS ram missing. It was a Samsung labeled stick and it was put back into the top slot to restore ops. Its possible the problems could have been avoided if techs would only install Canon or Canon service center approved memory!
