      I'll clean the connections and I'll also measure the space. Anything else I'll let the tech do.
      Thanks again

      I'm not trying to nick-pick, but you sound relatively inexperienced? Did you leave the DV unit on your workbench or did you just leave it laying randomly around the shop? No one is supposed to touch anything left on a tech's workbench. That's a BIG no-no.

      If you are inexperienced, you need to develop good habits like making test prints before you work on the machine and make sure you put parts somewhere that they won't be thrown away. This will make life much easier in the future.

          After cleaning it off and turning sea like there's actually little dev powder in there or the mag roller just not working well cause even after cleaning it off I still get the se pattern on the prints. Now this hurts. And I'm so sorry the staff tosses the old one out on the weekend. We usually keep them there for a while but guyss was in the wrong storage area and got tossed.

            I'm not a tech I'm the owner I know a few things I can install stuff etc. The old DV was placed in box and in the back of the shop we usually have an area for storage etc
            I did do a test print saw it and because there was somethung else wrong with the drum I never paid it muchind till I got the new drum in today then realise we aren't getting solid black. Well seems as if the mag on the new unit is really bad. So means spending more money again. I'll send the supplier a photo they are aware. But this hurt cause I had it shipped to the island via FedEx and it's not cheap shipping here priority

              i went through 5 black DVs because of that white bushing i posted earlier. installed new bushing and DV and problem was fixed.
              it just empties out the unit, it sucked. literally! hehe
              We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
              The medication helps though...

                If that's a new DV unit and it's already depleted, you need to check the waste toner bottle. Take a magnetic tip screwdriver and stick it in the waste toner and see if it sticks.

                  Thanks much, ok I'll check for these things. Where's the bushing though?
                  And are all developer powder practically the same?
                  Gonna take me about 4-5 days to get powder here on Island. And my C75 down for repairs I have powder for that lol

                    download the toner seal document i posted a couple pages ago in this thread.

                        @Synthohol thank. I'll go look for it. Appreciate the help guys.

                        So again another far out question would yiu guys try another developer in there. Then just replace it with the one when I get it on Island?

                          I haven't been able to gain the information needed to help you. I saw a pic of the DV unit you pulled. But is that what the mag roller looked like right after you pulled it or did you wipe it off some? Also, did you spin the mag roller by hand to see if it would coat the mage roller and form a nice brush? If so, you can't hold the DV unit the way way it shows in your picture.

                          To be honest, you may be better off calling a tech to fix the problem. And, no, I wouldn't install another DV unit in the machine because it sounds like it's pulling DV to the waste toner bottle...but I'm not 100% certain about that from your answer.

                            I don't recommend putting another developer into machine especially from other brand. Besides your new developer unit would quickly finish in WTB if Synthohol is right(like 90%). Your best bet for short time is to take developer from WTB with help of magnet then fill up developer unit remove bushings and clean them or atleast one for black unit. You may get some results that way waiting for new bushing and K developer unit.

                              Yes that's just how the DV unit looked when I pulled it out. Didn't wipe off any
                              When i turn the rollers, very little powder is stuck to it then nothing again.
                              When I checked the waste toner cartridge, by putting in a screwdriver you could see the powder stuck to it
                              So as pointed put could be a bushing issue.

                                ok let me see if I can get a bushing for the unit and also a new K powder

                                I don't think there is enough in there to get any reasonable prints to be honest.
