    Always at the end of the day on Friday!

    Never fails, you get those weird service requests late on Fridays. Now I'm left all weekend thinking what it could be...
    Here is message I received, "was in middle of print job on the C558, heard a loud pop and now machine is dead"
    I replied to remove from surge protector and plug directly into wall outlet after making sure wall outlet is live. They replied outlet good copier still dead. Heading out there Monday to have a look. My first thought was a capacitor popped on pwr supply but it would be a first I've seen that on 4 or 8 series? Any thoughts? Thanks

    Did an LVPS on that exact same model a few months ago for a "no power" condition. I can't recall if I noticed any damage or burnt caps on inspection though.

        Churches, "We need someone here today because we have to print our bulletins for this Sunday!" The most frantic Friday afternoon customers.

            Just wanted to follow up that it was the DCPU. You could see a blown diode and black on board.

              As always Thanks for coming back with solution!
              A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
              Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
