[Dead] ricoh 3235C reinstall cyan dev unit

[copylaser]

I have tried everything I can think of.
It works sometimes and then goes back to the message to reinstall cyan dev

These can work themselves loose sometimes, just enough for the connector to make fully on the rear of the dev unit.

Try modifying it - I glue a piece of feed roller rubber to the front so that the holding bar applies more pressure to the unit.

Alternatively, there could be toner in the female connector on the rear frame of the machine.

I tried to put a spacer in and even hold it so it wouldnt move but it still gave me the code. I removed the connector from the machine and cleaned it as well. any other suggestions?
Thanks DA

I take the cover off the front support plate and reform all the springs.
If one is doing it, then the others are not far behind.

If all else fails,
Replace it.

Thanks for the help. Can I use a ricoh developer unit or does it have to be Lanier? Does the developer unit come with developer in it ? It almost looks user replaceable.

THe part number for the Cyan DV unit is: B180 3002. It comes complete with Developer and will fit ricoh, savin, or lanier machines. Be sure to do the new unit set, SP5-995-XXX(the last three will be a number just for the cyan unit).

I have put pressure on the unit from the front and it wont set, the dv unit can be bad?

Replace the dev unit

Use a cotton tip to clean both connectors for that DV unit.
Then replace the DV unit.

They eneded calling KM who was the ricoh dealer. They are waiting on the conector at the back, I checked it and am not convinced that it will be the fix. Apparently the tech plugged in some kind of test device.
Thanks.
