    Canon irc3200n hangs at startup "wait..." on screen with progress bar

    Trying to help out a mate of mine with a small office and one of these units (Canon IRC3200N). As soon as the unit is powered on it begins the startup process and displays a progress bar on screen which never gets to the end and "wait..." is displayed below it.
    I have just purchased the service manual (Thanks Paul) and will be going through it but wanted to see if any of the experts out there have come across this symptom and have any ideas regarding a possible solution?

    POWER OFF PRINTER

    remove the memory & boot rom in back of printer>clean ends & re-seat--
    one of the memory dimms could be bad/ have seen this many times/
    one dimm is 256mb and one dimm is 512mb

    how old are DRUM UNITS ?/remove & re-seat them---

    Check to see if the Fuser unit is coming up to temperature

    u can get in service mode to check while wait is on panel/

    how far does progress bar travel ?/
    did customer have any errors before issue
    what service was performed before issue ?

    check wall outlet voltage supply
    hot to ground=115/120v +/- 10%
    hot to neutral=115/120v +/- 10%
    neutral to ground= 0.0v>0.5v max

      Thanks for the tips techkat - I was going to head to his office today to try them but I sent him a message beforehand to try a defrag and guess what... it worked
      But I think those tips will definitely be helpful in future.

        good point/ forgot about the defrag

        defrag helps if the one of the partitions is issue/
        usually Partition 4: Stores firmware, address book, filter storage area (system, language,
        rui).
