Spare yourself time and money and call a qualified technician to resolve your problem. If you're not trained you only make things worse. To replace these parts you have to adjust settings in the SP-Mode!

Oh, yes, you could go the cheaper way! But do you still remember what happened the last time you did that?
If you had called the technician the first time around, you'd probably pay for an half-hour labour (best-case scenario). Now, you're faced with a bill ranging from several hundred to more than a thousand dollars expenses!

Okay, one warning.
If you do decide to try and replace the drum and associated parts, be careful. As evidenced on the course I attended for this machine, if you put the spindle that runs through the middle of the drum back incorrectly, it locks the door on the front of the PCU's shut and you have to strip the machine more or less down to the frame to fix it.
I cannot stress this enough - DO NOT mess around with the internal workings of your copier - you will knacker it more than you could possibly imagine. Also, if you have gotten developer into the drive gears for the dev unit, it's had it. Stick another $300 on the bill.
Get a tech, take the hit for the PCU and developer and don't complain. You caused the problems with your machine.It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.Comment

i agree with you my kumpadre! listen to imaginemoko. dont try to do it yourself as it may worsen the situation. if you really dont know what to do and you have no idea with what your are doing, just call a certified engineer to do it for you. you may save some but lose more. you may know how to operate the machine but repairing it is another matter.

Black Drum unit part # B223 2244 I see that on the web site you linked to..
RICOH AFICIO MP C2500 DRUM BLACK 80K / B2232244
Black Dev unit part # B230 9640 But this part is not on the web site. A similar Cyan unit goes for $600+, but is not interchangable with the black.
So if the repair company states that it is about $1000 for both and they will do the install as well, take it.
Also, don't mess with at machine that you have no idea on HOW it works. It can get VERY expensive.......
Service contracts actually SAVE companies money and make sure that a machine is taken care of.

B2232044 is the PCU part number when they first came out and they had a drum blade fault.
The correct number is B2232042 for the drum half and B2233013 for the dev half of the PCU.
There is a number for the entire unit but it costs a lot more than the 2 halves!Comment
