From Goose's Guide:

Controller to Op Panel comm error - check connection between controller and op panel
Controller to Op Panel comm error - replace controller board
Controller to Op Panel comm error - confirm dip SW #1 is in the OFF position
Controller to Op Panel comm error - update system fw to 1.14.3 or higher & network docbox fw to 1.01 or higher

You may have damaged the BICU trying to replace the "fuse" or you may have failed to reconnect everything you disconnected. There may have also been additional problems with the BICU before you started.

Thanks , as soon after it made an error , the sc202 was not visible as the LCD was not lit (was dark), we replaced the fuse on the board Bicu the display lcd light came on and we could read the error, replacing the mirror motor now we are getting SC 652.checked all connectors to controller all seems ok. OLD mirror motor had 2 components burnt.

Re: Ricoh mpc 2800 sc672

The dark LCD with SC202 is a well known error on this series and its predecessor, where the Polygon Motor takes out the BICU. Typically, both should be replaced at the same time.
My guess is that you still have an issue with the BICU .

Re: Ricoh mpc 2800 sc672

thanks,i think i better try to find a used bicu card and start from there, what i find strange is that the machine keypad and lcd keypad do not work only displa, display light and green light on top of switch

That is another symptom of a communication error between the controller, BICU, and the control panel. Before spending money, recheck all connections.

LOOKS?

did you disconnect the re-connect just because something LOOKS connected doesn't mean they ARE connected properly.. you COULD have a bent pin in the connector

pull the damn harnesses and reconnect

Re: Ricoh mpc 2800 sc672

its a good point about the connectors, but i have checked them individually all 11 with a watch maker magnifier, thanks though for your suggestion, its a plus

Re: Ricoh mpc 2800 sc672

What I am concerned is that green LED 3 on Bicu is blinking continuously , is it normal or an error indication ???

That is probably what is referred to as the heart beat indicator. It shows that the system clock is functioning. If it were orange or red it would indicate a major problem.

As for the control panel, the basic display on the LCD screen is controlled by the firmware loaded to the control panel main board. The operation of the touch screen and the buttons on the panel are controlled through communication with the controller. You press a button and that action is sent to the controller. You touch the touch screen and the X and Y coordinates of where you touched is sent to the controller. No communication with the controller, no response to what you press of touch.

Re: Ricoh mpc 2800 sc672

thanks for info, really interesting to know,a tech here suggested the touch screen is faulty, could it be ??? as no buttons are functioning,is it the initialization process that when it comes to the display section it stops ???Thanks all for your support
