    Just orange light around Start button and panel POWER is green, and Orange + Blue light on front white panel of scanner base.

    Tried FW flash = NG
    NV RAM recovery = NG

    Tried Monica FW = NG (Thanks ezzysi)

      Does it come to Ready, then print, even with a blank display. Maybe the connector is loose.
      (It's a bad sign that the firmware is failing.) Are you sure you've got the correct, current firmware? =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

              swap the 2 ram chips around, turn power on. If symptoms change (specifically lcd shows ready but is unresponsive), replace both DIMMS. I would try to reload the original KM firmware after you change the chips before you try to bring MFP up to full ready. Emujo

                      I agree, it could be the PCRB, but I would at least take the RAM chips with me as this is the cheapest fix, and from my experiance, it's been about 70/30 in favor of the chips. EMujo

                              I have one in the shop with the same symptoms and it is the MFP board as well.

                                  I can't believe i have not finished this thread. It was one of the memory chips.Many thanks, Emujo.and to the rest, all the best with your machines.
