[Wanted] Colorpass Z650 Help Needed

[ChrisRatchford]

I own a CLC 1180 with a Colorpass Z650. Unfortunately, the Z650 died last week and will no longer boot. When plugged in, it just displays the following: "04.07.93" - any idea what that means. I don't think it's the date of manufacture because the internal hard drive has a manufacture date of 2001. My PC repair guy has not had any luck determining the problem. He has tested all components including RAM, power supply, hard drive and even installed another correct logic board.

Here are my questions:

1. Does anyone have any contacts for helping me to find another working Colorpass Z650?

2. Does anyone have any troubleshooting recommendations? BIOS, etc.

3. Do I have to use a Colorpass Z650 with my CLC 1180 or will another print controller work?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

there are many fiery options you can use to print to your CLC-1180. The problem is they are all old and it is becoming difficult to find parts, software and supplies for both the Fiery's and the CLC

Thanks for the reply. Ideally, I would like to find another functioning Z650. But, if I can't, can you suggest a specific fiery device I should look for on eBay or elsewhere? There are no Z650s on eBay currently. I just need something, anything that will allow me to print to my CLC 1180 again - and the sooner, the better.

Thanks,
Chris
