sc 670-672 database

[limo]

Dear all

I think iam not the only one who gets frustratate with the sc 670-672 errors.so many reasons with so many models. the situation is getting worse every date.So i propose to create our own database with the problem/symtom and also the solution when the problem is solved. post s must include all three and maybe s/n and firmware for comparison purposes.

I know what you mean have a MPC4502 have swap boards /op panel /usb cable update firmware and i still get sc672 sometimes go for a couple of days then pops up code. only thing haven't replace is power supply and i/o board.

Same here had mpc 3003 with 670-01 Updated firmware, replaced op panel, nvram,cables, and it ended up being the BCU board. These two codes are always fun to trouble shoot.

There is a bulletin on this its about 20 pages basically involves observing a number of LEDs colour flashing secuences on the controller very useful.

hello, it happened to me three times on different models, and both times it was the bicu and once the ipu, if I tried to send the mc in standby, and pushed the ipu with his fingers, the mc restarted and generated sc670, I suspect it is because of the bad quality of the welds .. especially on multi-pin board to board connectors, next time I want to try with the technique of re-flush, I saw it on youtube and with the playstation 3 it worked, ( with heat of the cpu in that case the welds were cracked under the cpu) serves the flux paste and an air heater to coachbuilder ... on youtube is full of videos on the reflow various pcb ... so if you have to throw ?!

Yeah I did use this bulletin and it was semi helpful. As for checking the LEDs that was a challenge only because of limited work space. That's why I prefer my wide format machines.

Is it possible that i can get a copy of the bulletin

Thanks in advance

Re: sc 670-672 database

A Database would be helpful, but it would just essentially be a big list of parts to try. You could write a couple of Novels about these codes! From Older than dirt to the newest of the new, they all get it, and it can be so freaking frustrating some times. The 20 page bulletin helps, but not always.

It could be ANYTHING!!
IPU boards
MBU on fax board or fax board itself
Op panel
Various Broken wires
Failed controllers
USB cables from op panel to controller
Flat Cables
BCU boards
Tech Induced crap
Customers pulling the plug from wall (taking out God knows what).
Bad Accessory (i.e. finisher/ bridge/ ADF).
Bad Firmware
Bad SD card
Bad App

And these are just the tip of the Iceberg!

This is the one I use, its a few separate bulletins made into one pdf.

Re: sc 670-672 database

Don't forget to update the print drivers. I have seen a brand new PCL6 driver cause this code with a particular document on one machine but print the same document from another computer to the same copier and not code out. Install the PCL driver on the computer giving the problem and everything works fine.

Re: sc 670-672 database

I just went to run a mpc400sr that i picked up a few weeks back and it was working and booted up fine at
the warehouse b4 I wrapped it up and moved it and now that dreaded sc672.......
I pulled the control panel connectors and reseated both to panel and to the rear brds and removed the fax option BUT that did nothing......
hmmmmm..
Does it seem like a loose connector somewhere?
Also I know there was a bulletin for energy saver on the mpc401 for this code.
Is there one for the mpc400sr?
thanks

Re: sc 670-672 database

This has been a bad year with these SC 672's popping up especially on the MP C 4504's. Since most of your have tried difference replacement of parts, what l have been doing is by starting off the obvious. Open and close the front door of the printer, if you hear the engine running then it is the hard drive. If you do not hear it running then it is the controller. In most cases with the controller replacement the hard drive need to be replaced. Very few times l got lucky with updating the firmware on the SOP but this is just luck l guess.
I have seen a few of these printers with power up codes, this is regarding to spikes that affect the power supply. Check the surge filter for a red light, if this is the case. Remove the printer power cord to another wall outlet and monitor the power up codes from the SMC log.
I would appreciate any other feed back as these controllers are not cheap to replace, almost $1800.
