i did reset total counter af1045, but SC 350 comes frequently

[Guest]

dear guys,

i did reset total counter af 1045 by shorting the nvram, but sc 350 comes frequently and charge voltage becomes 2000v.

any ideas beside replace the nvram?

thanks folks

Why you shorted NVRAM???
SC 350 is related with your ID sensor.
Causes are multiple including ID sensor defective
ID sensor connector defective
Poor ID sensor connector connection
I/O board (IOB) defective
High voltage supply board defective
ID sensor dirty
Defect at ID sensor pattern writing area
of the drum
If your NVRAM is cleared...I will start fresh with a PM, clean-up (including cleaning the ID sensor and after manual input of the NVRAM info. Do you have the machine original "birth certificate"???

I have an idea, get a new tech!

i shorted the nvram coz i wanna reset the total counter (plz dont tell me its illegal or unethical ...i knew )

how about charge voltage raising up to 2000v ???

thanks stephend

Perform the SC5801 NVRAM reset to its default setting, then manually set back the reading according to the birth cert. make a laser beam pitch adjustment to avoid SC322 appear.

after reset usually a watchdog error comes off... then return back the nvram to its origal place and proper pins.... then on.... its a clever thing to save such cost.. but.. risky like what happen... i agree try the memory clear first then return such values of service program settings....

[Eric1968]

Did you backup your NVRAM? If not you can change PCU, Developer, Charge Roller etc. because the machine lost all its engine data. It's not strange that the machine comes up with strange values.
2000V is way to high for the Charge Roller. This causes developer to be attracted to the drum surface.
Messing with NVRAM is NOT a very good idea.

You may have really scewed the pooch on attempting to reset the total counter. I have done a by-the-book NVRAM replacement in the past and the machine never did work right after that. Not something you want to mess with unless it is absolutely necessary.

A 350 can be caused by a defective NVRAM, and in this case it sounds like the one in this box is definitely smoked. That's what happens when someone tries to get a little more clever than they should.
Why on God's green earth would you want to re-set a total counter????

Why do you think? duh.

I wanna print money on my 1224 so I don't have to work, too...

Ok...your intention was to make the machine to look brand new But what about mechanical counter...did you order it new from a dealer or Ricoh ...to make this scam complete? Any customer could find out really easy about mechanical counter...and if it's not matching with the digital one they can sue you!! Be careful!

Other techs give you the right answers about your problem.
Hoping that your NVRam is still good you should perform the nvram clear,
install all the new parts (drum, dev, etc) and copy the "birth certificate" values back on NVRam (if you don't have this one...you will regret that you didn't back up your NVRam)
Another solution if you don't have the birth cert or nvram back up is to find another machine with a close serial no and to impus the "birth cert" from that one...monitoring and adjusting the values in time but anyway your machine won't be the same...Good luck

Not being a copier tech so I'm not 100% positive about this, but I seem to remember that once you clear the totals counters and change a few boards, you have to have Ricoh come out and set the machine serial numbers back up with the new boards installed. I remember reading something about this somewhere. Maybe a Ricoh tech can chime in.

Executing Memory All Clear resets all the settings stored in the NVRAM to their default settings except the following:

Electrical total counter value SP7-003-1
Machine serial number 5-811-1
Plug & Play Brand Name and Production Name Setting 5-907

You must have at least the SMC Complete Report Printed before executing 5801.
After 5801 you should start with laser beam pitch adjustment
Scanner & printer registration and adjustment is the next step.
After all these do you touch screen calibration C 1993 S S S S S
Now it's time to re input the values from SMC report which had been
changed from their factory settings. Your last step should be 3-001-002.

To input again the SN you must have access to factory mode. You can find the way in checking some previous threads posted on this site.
