I was given a Panasonic FP 7713 today, told by the chap that gave it to me that 'it prints slightly dark'... Turns out that it prints a totally black sheet, with some raised 'ridges' within the black (also black), and the toner comes off the paper where these ridges are... Not slightly knackered, but totally knackered.
Looked around on the internet to see if I could find out roughly what the problem might be and if there would be a relatively cheap solution, but not had much luck. The light is working when the scan is made, so it's not the bulb.
Any ideas? The chap who gave it to me also mentioned that it only just passed it's PAT test, so maybe something shorting / odd going on inside the box. Will take it apart and check to see if anything obvious is loose / shorting.
Otherwise, I'm thinking the chap saved himself a trip to the landfill?
Any help much appreciated!
