    [Dead] ricoh aficio mp161spf

    hello. i have mp161spf machine code b284 which is obviously seen at the back of the machine. my problem started a couple of weeks now. it simply started with an sc code 819. I was able to scan some remedies from this site and tried almost all of them. specifically, adding ram on my machine. i was not able to find 128mb of SDRAM PC133 thus i tried 256mb but no luck. now, my problem became much complicated since my ricoh machine won't boot anymore. when i turn on it main switch, the orange light from the ethernet port hangs... it used to change from orange to green, but not anymore.. the display won't lit either. i also tried pulling off the controller board and tried to switch it on and the machine simply says that it is BOOTING FROM IC... "IC BOOTING". hope someone could teach me some sort of remedies.. i even wanted to try updating the firmware but i don't think it would work since the machine hangs from the time it would be turned on...please help. thanks

    You should download and use Goose's Guide.

    B262/B284/B288/B292

    Kernel stop: if IPfax is not used for long time - update RFAX to 01.01.00B or higher
    Kernel stop: Turn off SSID Log into WIM as admin, configuration SSDP inactive
    Kernel stop: check that SD card is in the lower slot and unlocked
    Kernel stop: reseat DIMM about a dozen times check self diag for 384Mb
    Kernel stop: replace controller
    Kernel stop: reload firmware
    Kernel stop: replace SD Card

        is there any other way i could use this copier without using controller? since i could actually boot it from ic, but using as a copier is impossible.. any idea?
