Does any of you believe it's the power supply? Which I will be looking for part number FH3-2692 if you think that is bad.

Don't u know how to use a meter to check for supply voltage ?
If u don't know how to use a volt-meter/ and u are a Tech, find another trade
see link :>

Yep
A fuser with a short in it would take out a power supply and fit with a problem still occurring after the fuser is unplugged. You may have been lucky and just blown a fuse on the power supply. Ive only seen a handful bad fusers in 15 years and half of those were parts department ordering the 220V version for our 120V machines.

Umm is there any way to tell if my fuser is for a 220v machineComment
-
ever here of a LABEL/ :> ON UNIT
FM2-0173-190=120V
FM2-0174-190=220/240V
Just pull out the Fix Heater H1/2 and look at end mark

It seems u r trying to 'troubleshoot' the machine from afar! If that is so , I suggest u be on the machine n get down to real troubleshooting, starting with the power supply unit. Assuming the problem was with the PSU (e.g a fuse )and u have corrected it, put in the new fuser unit in the machine again. If the power supply unit is roasted a second time, it confirms that your new fuser unit is bad.
If its too much of a hassle for u to do these, I suggest u hire the services of a real technician.Comment

Hi, i got the machine from my company, and i am trying to fix it. i got lot o time, but little money. Sorry if you guys think i am taking advantage of this forum.Comment
-
well then pull out a meter and use it
otherwise pay someone who knows how to use one to fix the problem
and as for w fix them for a living it means we are professionals that know what we are doing
know what a meter is how to use it read schematics draw on years of experience and ask the right questions of other techs
and try those suggestions and report back on findings ie TECHNICIAN not end userComment

Not at all. It was just the clown thing, minor infraction.
Did you check the fuses or circuit breakers on the ac power supply or power cord terminal? Take off the lower back cover and where the power cord comes in is the power cord terminal assembly and to the right of that is the ac power supply, and to the right of that is the dc power supply. You may get lucky and just need to replace a fuse or reset a breaker.
Good Luck!Comment

crwoo, any time I have had to track down a "green light on but no power" problem, it is intensive. It could range from the main controller to the memory to the power supply. It is usually caused by something shorting out one of the PCBs, but it is rarely the same something. Unless you have a book and a meter as well as someone to bounce things off of, I would look into getting a tech in there. you sound like an end user that got stuck having to fix their own stuff, appologies if I am wrong, but this type of problem can give the best techs trouble.Is the glass half full or half empty? I say neither. The glass is obviously full, full of potential. The potential to hold more water or the potential to quench a thirst. Life is all about how you see it.Comment

Yay, it works!! Must have been a loose connection. Checked a bunch of stuff with multimeter and lifted it up on a Table for better access, and it booted up and prints nicely. Thanks y'all for the help, I appreciated it. You were very helpful. I now have a printer that works!!!Comment

It's all about following a procedure:
a way of acting or progressing in a course of action, especially an established method.

do u know what connector it was ???**Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**Comment

I have no idea what connector it was, as i was trying to figure it out, i checked a few things, checked it, didnt work. So i lifted it on a table (it was moved from shop to home AFTER it stopped working) and after i lifted it on table it worked, i have no idea what i did besides leaving it unplugged for a few days and wiggling and testing wires.Comment

"Put it up on a table" and here I am actually trying to fix them when there was an easy answer all along. Nice work. I would either make sure no one ever bumps into it or try to find out what is loose. couldn't help getting a chuckle out of that one.Is the glass half full or half empty? I say neither.
