    Samsung ML-2152W Reboots after page is printed

    Have a customer with one of these that as the subject says reboots itself after a page is printed. Does this about 50% of the time even if I am printing a config page from the ops panel. Display goes blank then says "initializing" just like when you turn the machine off/on again. Hoping someone has seen this before.
    Thanks

      Bad Caps

      The customer did not want to spend any money so I asked if I could have it for parts and they agreed. I pulled the thing apart and did find bulged caps (one leaked) in the power supply. So should I replaced them all? 5 different sized caps all right together in a group.
      Thanks

        caps

        You can change all the caps or just the ones below 16volt . I thnk from memory the ones that bulge are 10 volt ones around 1000uf. I always use atleast 25v ones to replace and high temp ones 105~c so they Never fail again.

        This is a common fault built into samsung printers so after 2-3 years of use the periodic voltage spikes that go over the caps voltage ratings eventually make them explode. Ths means good profit return if you have sold a few of them.
