Replacing the controller did the trick for this beast :-)

Beware of the slooooooooooooow start of this machine - slow enough to make you crap your pants thinking "this doesn't work..."

In my experience it usually is the controller on most modern machines

Re: MP C4503 with intermittant SC672-12 code

Got one of these 672-11 and 672-12

I've ordered controller, ipu, dimm and usb cable (to be sure)

Let you know on Monday witch was the itchy part

Try updating power saving firmware first as advised by Semi, got to be worth trying

Thanks for you reply, I cant update, controller seems to be out, no led lights up at all...

Check the condition of the controller board and operation panel.

Not seen this, but I have been updating power saving firmware as it's not included in package

Nice, package updates dont do ps or fw or any options,as your previous post-good post on the package & romdata data , good info for the indies-if thev'e got access

Re: MP C4503 with intermittant SC672-12 code

replace the nv ram on the bicu board

I have a MPc5503 doing this same thing now. Ricoh tech support suggested I order a new controller and dimm. Have you had good luck with the nvram on the BICU?

Thanks Robert, I will keep this link handy for future use.
And I did google the code and got pages of choices. I like the idea
of having one link for quick use.

Thanks
