IRC 3220 screen going black and freezing problem and FIX

[shout_print]

Our 3220 started to occasionally reset and progressively got worse. With the screen going black and the machine shutting down
It seamed to be heat related and I suspected a dry joint on the Fuseboard or powersupply

There where several bad looking joints on the fuse board, I reflowed the solder.

Problem Fixed

I agree. Short cuts cost more in the end.
Don't be penny pound foolish, Trust us, its word from the wise.

You have proven to be quite a tech by resoldering
But save your time and trouble.

You could always send it to Hytek in Florida. Repair price is cheaper than ordering a new one and you get a year warranty on it. Just a thought.

HYTEK is a ripoff/ if u tell them a board is bad n' it's good , u still pay

Hytec is could for certain things when you don't have to pay, but the price difference isn't much if you were to purchase a new part from canon.

That is true. If you blindly send a board to Hytek, they will charge the repair price for that board. BUT, if you ask for the board to be tested first and it tests good, they will only charge a bench test fee, around $33 I think. I just sent a Reader controller PCB for testing and they only charged me for a bench test fee, but I had to contact my Rep first and assign an RMA on the outside of the box. I had a scanner that was intermittenly stuttering. I wanted to be sure if I replaced the motor, that I didn't have a damaged board also. It pays to be careful.

here u , always request test first, a lesson well learned
