Bizhub C203 Firmware

[TechMayday]

I bought a used bizhub C203 and upon startup, it is stuck at the hourglass. I replaced the Ram and no change. I'd like to try reloading the firmware. I think the latest is:C203 GRG-R6 C203_A02E0Y0-F000-GRG-R6.exeI'm not a dealer... help?

I prefer mass production version A02E0Y0-F000-G20-R6. Anyway this hourglass might be HDD, PCB... Try trouble reset procedure before any expensive repair.

If firmware does not work, try memory chip.

Re: Bizhub C203 Firmware

Turns out that the memory I used was defective. Now I am able to start the printer but it sticks on error C-D010. Hard drive unformatted. The touch screen locks up and I am not able to enter the service mode to format it?
Help?

Have you tried reflashing the firmware?

Re: Bizhub C203 Firmware

Try unhooking the hard drive and you should be able to get into service mode.

Re: Bizhub C203 Firmware

I bought this firmware: A02E0Y0-F000-GZ1-R6 I'm using a SanDisk 256 MB CF card, I wrote the firmware using The Konica Minolta Firmware Imaging Toolkit 2_53. I Tried disconnecting the hard drive and the printer never finished starting, stuck on Konica Minolta Logo. I appreciate any ideas / help

I tried the reset procedure and it stops at the KM logo as well.

Re: Bizhub C203 Firmware

Sounds like you've got an NVRAM problem.

Here's the NVRAM Clear firmware: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8y9mgbk2wb...00%29.EXE?dl=0

Here's the procedure (Read this first before starting): https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xpg17b9q4...hames.pdf?dl=0

Re: Bizhub C203 Firmware

Huge thanks, making progress... I was able to follow your instructions and reset the NVRAM, now it says: "serial number needs to be entered" "Contact service representative" - dont have a rep...

The instructions say to enter service mode either I am doing something wrong, or ?

I press Utility Counter key and it beeps, I press stop and it beeps, then i press 00 stop 01 and each time it beeps but the screen does not advance.

hold down utility when booting for service mode

Re: Bizhub C203 Firmware

Holding utility down during boot hangs on planets screen.

Swapped out main board, flashed firmware A02E0Y0-F000-GZ1-R6

and still hanging on "serial number needs to be entered" "Contact service representative"

hold down utility when booting for service mode

Stop-0-0-stop-0-1 press them in same intervals of time and don't wait for beeps.

Re: Bizhub C203 Firmware

Wait for warning beeps to stop (initialization is finished) and than start with U/C-S-0-0-S-0-1.
