Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

That's a good bit of info, cheers, I'm looking at the parts manual now trying to find it.

Is the ops panel only connected by that USB cable?

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

You have a problem with the USB cable that connects from the IPU to the Op panel.

The SMC report you have provided is excellent as the SC672-11 or SC672-12 does not register in the SMC.

Replaced the cable and it will fix your issue.

I have had many of these issues on the 03 series.

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

I have just been back to this one. In SC history there is no record of sc672 only sc988, but the error on the panel is sc672

I checked the setting sp5-191 this was already set to 1 so I set it to zero.

Also they is newer fw so I updated all again!!!

I also removed & refitted all connections on the controller board. Will have to wait & see if it comes back in!

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

Generally all settings are stored in the memroy and NVRAM, so swapping those into the new board should be little to no operations change, I believe. However, I'm not sure if the memery and NVRAM will be reset when plugged into the new board for the first time? I haven't had to swap out any boards my self, so I'm of little help to you there man.

the memory and NVRAM settings will be transferred over to the new controller. you just may need to update the firmware

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

Thanks for all this info.

I'll replace the cable first, as obviously that's cheaper, if no luck then i'll order a new controller board.

If I do need to replace the controller board what settings are lost, do I simply need to take the memory & NVRAM off the faulty controller & fit it to the new one?

system manual

I am confused.....what is a system manual? The only things I found on Ricohs website are a service manual, a parts manual, a PSG (product support guide) and the service bulletins. Where can I acquire a system manual? I would like to see one.

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

I went to the Ricoh service manual for the MP C3003 - 6003 and could not find the code, SP5191. Could you tell me where you found this code in the manual? That does sound like a very good way of fixing the problem.

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

1st thing to do is set SP5-191 to 1, this will never turn off the controller board even when the devices goes into energy saver mode

2nd, I need to know what SC672 is it?

I have have many of these SC672 errors in the past, the majority of them you can get away with not replacing the controller board, but I need more details such as, is it a SC672-11 for example

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

do you have any 03s out that are in warrantee still? Just get the sp log data off one of those and claim for a dead controller that's what I would do.

Re: MPC3003 intermitent SC672 error

This machine is about 2 years old so out of warranty!

All the fw is up to date
