Will KM3050 drum work in KM4050?

[copyaction]

I know, super old but I still have a customer with a 4050.
I have a brand new DK715 that says it is for 3050.
Does anyone know if this will work or what the difference may be?
Thanks

I do not think that it will work because beginning of serial number from DK715 is diff to SN from DK716
First 3 digits are showing type of spare part and internal firmware will not accept other digits/ other spare aprts.
There would no official FW published by KDC to accept other 3 digits also...
Finally: you`ll get C7900

You cant just switch the chip from one to the other

I seem to recall obvious physical differences between the drums. And the EEPROM chip would not let it work even if you could get it installed. =^..^=

Just replace the eprom chip on drum and will work fine. Did it all the time.

@kleankopy
How does each system generate a consistent quality?

By adjusting the required voltages to the performance of the individual components, like a drum and MC

The counter reading and the drum runtime are stored on the eeprom/ chip

Old eeprom in new drum with new unused surface/ new MC logically results in incorrect voltages and thus quality problems.

You can change the eeprom, but you will have problems afterwards, because U109 + U110 you can`t change.

Maybe no problems immediately, but certainly later.

Feel free to do it, but don`t wondering about new problems.

First find if opc drum and blade are the same (You can see if compatible opc drums and blades are the same for these models) . If yes replace in old drum unit opc drum and blade with thise from the new drum unit.
