    mpc2500 yellow pcu not working

    Hi,

    I have one mpc2500 that when i print the test pattern the yellow dont apears... we change already the pcu and the transfer unit and still doing the same but the pcu on other machine works. there is no sc code on loggin data and machines dont give any information.
    did someone already have this problem before?

    thanks in advance

      Agreed, happend to me once, the charge cable for the Yellow transfer roller was broken.
      Might also be the contact springs to the itb that are bent/broken.
      Also check the conections on the high voltage board.

        My vote is on the ITB unit too.
        Please start you post with brand, model, problem.

                    Hi there!
                    I agree with francisco, when itb-unit is changed then the drive-unit is gone. Had this 2 month ago on the same model, the salesman changed it in a 20er Metis.
                    Greetings...

                      Hi to all,

                      is this the drive unit mentioned by Francisco?
                      is yes so i will remove from other machine and test and then i will post the result.

                      thanks.

                        check the shutter for the laser unit, the one for the yellow might be stuck close

                          The shutter is a metal plate wich covers all the lasers at once. If one is stuck all are stuck.

                            From Goose Guide:
                            single color missing - no image on drum, no codes then replace NVRAM
                            single color missing - if image on drum, transfer roller/bias issue
                            single color missing - F/C mode only, single color is OK - reformat HDD
                            single color missing - bad memory chip on toner bottle
                            single color missing - set SP 2-914 laser shutter open and close should be 38
                            broken transfer roller connector in ITB unit

                              i also had a tech who uses a larger "c" clip to fasten the brass bushing for the developer unit. The clip came off and grounded between the bias terminal and frame.
