Konica C500 will not restore standard data

Re: Konica C500 will not restore standard data

Hi Henry, I fixed the sc50-01 error on my bizhub c500
I went to an electronic store and buy a soldering tool, .75amps 250V fuse, an Inline Fuse Holder and an electrical tape. I solder one wire on each side of the ICP 22 fuser and the machine is working good now, I dont have that error code anymore. Thank you for your advice you were very helpful. I saved a $1000 so happy cheers

Good. I'm glad that the saga I went through and wrote about, did somebody out there some good.

Happy news the 5001 is corrected.

Sorry to read the 'ill advised' developer swap seems to have induced a problem. It's a technique I've used a number of times (and suggested) with no adverse effects... It was first suggested to me by K-M TS engineers. Not that a problem with the little parlour trick couldn't exist, but I maintain that it's quite a simple and harmless procedure if done with care. Frankly, I'm stunned. I'd be interested to know, time allowing, how exactly troubleshooting the developers boat-anchored the machine.

I gotthe SC50-01 error code not by switching developers unit, I think I betterexplain so that I can help other to be careful when dealing with theirmachines.

I was talking on my cell phone and took out the magenta developer unit to cleanit and to remove some magnet dust that was causing some lines on my prints,when I replaced the magenta developer unit I forgot to attach the wireconnector that connects from the printer unit to the developer unit (are theonly wires that goes to the developer unit), anyways...not to make the storylong... when I push the image unit to close the copier door I got the SC50-01error code which I never had this error in the past nor fixed any errors onthat category, I was surprised cause my machine was running great and now allof the sudden I get a weird error message, I stop the machine and check mymagenta cable and it was crushed into peaces
and the wires touched the copier's metal frame and burned the ICP 22 fuser on the PRCB I searched for this errorand found my friend Henry having this same problem on his machine I follow his suggestionand fix it by replacing the burned fuse to a .75amp fuse. Now the machine isrunning back again and just finish printing over 20,000 copies without anyproblem, by the way I just replaced all the drums, the developers and a bunchof other part. I would like to mention that I was going to swap the PRCB fromanother machine that I use for parts but find out that I can not use a usedPRCB from another machine as the Serial number is encrypted to the board chip,and a new board costs about $1000 plus shipping and handling so I saved a $1000and spend only about $50 for a good solder, 75amps fuse and an Inline fuseholder. cheers

Ah! I am relieved -- both that you have a fix and that Musical Developers maintains its place in polite troubleshooting society!

I remain stunned, however, by the application of a fuse on PRCB to repair E50-01 (WTF???), since 50-01 relates, not to an open circuit, but to a continuous 12V signal from the DCPS...

Just goes to show... E-lek-troniks is magic.

Nice bit of fancy techin.
