Color laserjet pro MFP M477 59.F0 error

Re: Color laserjet pro MFP M477 59.F0 error

Eh, it may resolve but I think updating the DCC firmware is a "band-aid" solution -- there's an actual physical defect, a sensor in the actual ITB that is prone to malfunctioning and my guess is HP uses the firmware revision to disable that sensor. Seems kinda shady. You'll notice at the bottom of the "Service Action Advisory" that if the firmware upgrade is not possible, the recommended solution is replacing the ITB. It is an actual hardware problem but somehow the firmware overlooks / overrides.

You must work for printer techs I see you have linked to the parts selling web site in other posts, HP released this firmware as a factory authorized fix hardly shady.

Eh, believe it or not HP can behave shady and recommend shady/technically-incorrect workarounds :-) They have not been quick to admit faulty hardware going way back, they said they found a fix for faulty swing plate assemblies on HP 4250/4350/4200/4300/4345 but that was inaccurate, they said they had a fix for the ripping sleeve problem on 4200 fusers and that wasn't true, the faulty fuser drive gear problem continues into P4015/M602 with varying degrees, they produced thousands of faulty J6057A JetDirect cards and had a very "hush-hush" recall, thousands of failed P3015 boards, P2015 boards, P2055 boards with limited recalls, etc. The CP3525 / CM3530 have fuser drive gear assemblies with failing solenoids that were never addressed. HP M602 OEM fusers often come with low-quality factory grease / sleeve combos that won't even last the service intervals without jamming. So yes, I'm suggesting HP would be glad to write a shady firmware that somehow "ignores/overrides" a failing sensor in an ITB rather than issue warranty replacement ITB's or fix/replace the actual ITB issue. If you want to check out the root issue there are YouTube videos of people disassembling these ITB's to locate the sensor and the problem. It's obviously cheaper for HP to rewrite software and issue a "firmware revision" / "fix"; I just consider it a way for them to avoid addressing the root issue. This is a known hardware problem and if you Google / call most reliable tech support for the larger printer parts companies they will tell you to replace the ITB. Whenever we write a new article you will probably see it post to corresponding threads.

Not true. I've replaced 3 or 4 ITB's under warranty on the single-function model (M452). That being said.........I have seen for many years now that manufacturers are able to re-write firmware to "address" hardware issues. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad...................

Re: Color laserjet pro MFP M477 59.F0 error

I Just had an M452dn that would throw error 59.F0 every 2 or 3 prints.
The belt looked to be fine. I removed the belt and inspected it, put it back in. Re seated connectors, checked sensor flag. Same result.
Next, I installed the latest firmware. Now, when I start the printer the error comes up while it's warming up- can't even get a print out.
I ordered a new transfer belt assembly and that took care of it. I have tested it for hours and no code. I was reluctant to spend the money on the transfer belt after reading all of the posts about causes other than the transfer belt assembly itself.
By the way, the printer has 73,000 total prints.

If you have a few of these out, do yourself a favor and go to your wholesaler and get a few HP M 452(cheaper), transfer belt, fuser and main pcb, and other parts are the same. Can get cheap. The 59.0 error is the transfer belt. have taken one apart, they are not made to be taken apart. Literally have at least 40-50 parts that just fall apart when taken it apart, LOL!!! Belts look like new, but internally there are sensors, a solenoid that does not like to get dirty, and multiple gears, actuators and cams, all for the belt to function. Easy replacement procedure though, once you do a few, 15-20 minute job. Good Luck.

p.s. Hp has a firmware update to "fix 59.0 error" Doesnt do nothing, still have the error. Common problem with those models.
