Re: MP 6000 SC672

I'm betting you will need a new control board. My experience with the 672 is almost always that, especially if you have already checked the DIMM's, HDD, ect....... Does it have a fax board? If so try to remove that and reboot.

Good luck!

Re: MP 6000 SC672

Just to check: is the highlighted cable the one that connects the opeartion panel to the controller board? I cannot seem to find any other cable harness that connects to the controller board.

Re: MP 6000 SC672

From my experiences this code is 1 of these :

1) RAM
2) Hard drive
3) Controller unit

I would say try changing the RAM and Hard drive with 1s that you know are working before changing the controller unit.

Also you can try (if you don't have another controller) disconnecting the controller unit and starting up (yes I know this is unorthodox) with the back covers off keep an eye out for lights and fans that may or may not come on.

Also check for power coming into the controller unit .

All the best friend. Hope this helps.

Also might be a faulty control panel. Try swapping with another

First thing to try is to disconnect the HDD. If it then boots, the HDD is bad.

I agree with Slim.

Disconnecting only the power to the HDD will do nothing, in fact, it will only cause a problem.

Unplugging the data cable, on the other hand, will remove it from the equation completely, and may allow the machine to boot.

I didn't think that this was possible, as I thought unplugging the molex power connector from the drive would simulate an absent HDD condition. I couldn't get the IDE cable unplugged from either end, given how cramped everything is but I will certainly give this a try tomorrow.

Disconnect any and all features in the back, including memory card(s), fax, HDD, etc. Yes you lose certain functions, but all you are looking for at that point is to see if that code goes away.

On my Konicas when I suspect HDD I make it unset in service mode followed by physical removal of data and power cables from HDD just to make triple sure machine has no any clue about HDD
In that process I usually lose more time to remove covers over HDD than other operations.

The MP 6000 is too old now however if you want to try a firmware update feel free to contact us.

Disconnected both the HDD completely and then the NIC/USB card (no other expansion cards are present, such as the FAX card which could cause this cause if the jumpers are set incorrectly) but no change.

I will try to find two different sticks of RAM to try it with, but I am afraid we are headed towards replacing the controller.

Re: MP 6000 SC672

Is there a possibility that someone may have removed a SD card such as the JAVA card without properly stopping JAVA? If so, the controller board is cratered.

I am 100% certain that absolutely no one has messed with the SD card, or the machine in general. The last time anyone has touched it was a couple of months ago when I did some PM work on it. It's a classic case of "it worked just fine the day before".

I just removed the cover from the SD cards, blew some air into the contacts on the motherboard (they were clean but you never know) re insterted them in the same position as they were as well, nothing again. Also I am 100% sure both sliders on the SD cards were in the original position as they where when the machine was working.
