Toshiba e-studio 350 Error code F103.

[Guest]

On the error code F103 on my toshiba e-studio 350 copier I have tried 08/690/2 but doesnt work the machine restarts but shows the error again after a few seconds. IS there any other solution?

If replacing the hdd is the only solution will i also need to update anything else. and how to replace the hdd. how much will that cost is it worth it? thanks.

Do a sector check...08-694. If it checks good, reinstall firmware. If it checks bad, replace the HDD.
I'd just replace the HDD, as they are pretty cheap.

Thanks very much for the reply. I tried 08-694. The screen says

System Mode Error
Err No [3(0x3)], Sect Adrs [1154304(0x119d00)]

Is there any solution? if reinstalling firmware might work where to get it from and how to do it? If replacing hdd what else i ll need to do (like reinstalling firmware etc) Thanks very much again. i m glad i m getting somewhere.

Just replace the HDD and flash the machine with the proper firmware

[toshibadale]

In this case, you need to replace the HDD. You also need to know what version your machine was at before it went down. Flashing it with the wrong f/w could lead to more problems.

Thanks for your time guys.
Does anyone have a copy of the latest firmware for the estudio 350? and how do i find out what version was on it before it went down? Thanks

Reflashing the machine with the latest firmware will be fine.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Australia, the latest firmware is 4006. If you are not familiar with installing the firmware on these machines, then you might need to get someone in to do it for you.

the estudio 350 hdd costs too much in Australia. I have finally found a same copier (second hand) for less money than the hdd. the hdd was costing $350 and a used copier $300 (very rare from office auctions). lol.
anyway Thanks for your help guys. really appreciated.

but any half decent it store should be able to supply them for under $100...

[youadelaide]

Thanks mate. I ll try and ask em if it can be used in the copier coz it says on the website that its for the PC. cheers

[bojans]

of course, you can use in copier it's the same.

I found that hard drive that your talking about for 40 bucks so if i buy this and put it in the copier it will work

Yes it will work but you will need to reload the firmware.
