I'm new to the world of these copiers so I apologize is I do not use the correct terminology. My machine was installed by the store I purchased it from. For some reason I never checked anything they did. Turns out then didn't use the surge protector I supplied. Had a bad thunderstorm with lightning and now my machine doesn't work. When I turn on the main power, something turns on. Sounds like fans and typical sounds that it always made. However, the display doesn't turn on. The green light blinks beside the circle with what looks like a lightning bolt through it. The store wants $400 just to come look at it because I live pretty far away. So, I am wondering if I could check for easy problems first. Maybe the surge just blew a fuse (hoping). Is there a fuse diagram for these machines? I can't find one just by searching Google. Also, does anyone else have others ideas that I could check out? Money is tight and I need the machine operational asap so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Re: Mx 3140 display not working
1. If the power LED is lit, but the sleep mode button is clear, then the machine is in low power mode. To wake, press the power button (usually holding for a few seconds).
2. If the power LED is lit, and the sleep mode button is flashing, then press that to wake the machine up.
3. If the power LED is not lit, then make sure the toggle switch inside the front of the machine is turned on, then go to 1.

If it still doesn't work, then the MFPB could be fried.Comment

Re: Mx 3140 display not working
Thanks! The power light blinks, sleep bottom light is off. Neither the sleep nor power button do anything.
If something just got fried, is the best way to test with a multimeter? And does anyone recommend a good source for parts?
Thanks again!Comment

Re: Mx 3140 display not working
You will need a technician to troubleshoot and repair possible lightning damage. You will not be able to use your multi-meter without detailed schematics.
Also incorrect usage of the multi-meter can cause further damage to the PCBs in your machine.
You should contact another copier repair technician. You can probably find a more reasonable repair rate by calling a few independents that service your general area.Comment

These machines have a history of bad SD cards that have that exact symptom.Comment

Re: Mx 3140 display not working
In my experience, One thing that should be checked before doing anything, go into CN update, and if the operations panel comes on, than you know the panel is ok. If the panel is blank in CN update, then is could be a back LVDS pwb, or ops panel. If the panel comes on, try to do the update, and that could fixied, or the next steps would be in this order. I would start with the SD card, then the SCN pwb, and then the MFP.Comment

Re: Mx 3140 display not working
i second the dc power supply. these machines are terrible when it comes to the dc board blowing. I have probably changed out a couple dozen. i have had one be the sd card. if you try to put it in cn mode and it comes up it could be sd card. if the light just blinks with the fans on its the dc board.Comment

Re: Mx 3140 display not working
I had the blank display issue, seems like the back light would shine slightly but nothing on the screen and nothing seen using a flash light. Also had solid green power led and optics seemed to boot up.
MY issue turned out to be Main PWB board.Comment
