    [Misc] c3030/mpc3000 fax problems (B786)

    Got a call recently that the fax had all of a sudden quit working. Checked the phone line thru another fax and it will send and receive. All of the bit switches were set to default which they have been since the machine was installed. Only thing i can think to do is replace the fcu board, only problem is i cant for the life of me find a part number for the board anywhere in the service manual or parts manual. Please help/Advise. Thanks

    What happen if you enable the speaker and try manual on hook dialing dialing? If you either can't hear the dial tones and line sounds you might have a faulty fcu. Also be shure that the PCB contacts are proper.

      "Checked the phone line thru another fax and it will send and receive."
      Just curious, can you tell us a little bit more about this machine?

        Its a c3030/mpc3000 (obviously)

        We have had no issues with it until now. The fax machine quit sending or receiving faxes. Then all of a sudden it started spitting out blank pages 2 at a time totally about 98 pages. So the customer turned the machine off and unplugged it so that he wouldnt waste money on his service contract CPI.

          Cool, thanks. But I was asking about the other fax machine you used to test the fax phone line to see that it was OK.
          So what error codes are you getting with this?

            Sounds like a DIMM chip fault/lockup.
            Clear the fax memory.
            In FAX SP mode.
            Do 5101 SRAM initalise.
            5102 erase all files.
