    I looked in the knowledge base and most answers point to what you're doing in addition to checking harness connections. I did find one random answer that doesn't seem related but you may want to disconnect the hard drive and try again before replacing more parts. As from the Global Knowledge Base......

    SC 230 is displayed on the operation panel
    Details
    The printer generates an SC 230 (FGATE ON error: Bk)
    Answer
    Faulty or corrupt HDD. Format or replace the HDD.

          Both SC's have to do with laser scan unit. One is a sync error and the other is a Fgate error. Common causes are sync detect board, laser diode unit, BICU, Power Supply and wiring problems.
