4e woes

[tsbservice]

did you try to get to service mode doing a trouble reset?
will it go in TR mode holding panel reset while powering up?

Tried that won't go.

Leave service port cover open with no USB drive in it. Tape open. Turn machine on and wait awhile (up to 10 mins), I've been lucky a few times with machines boot up that way so I could get into service mode to format hdd, load firmware, etc etc. That service port door actuates a sensor when closed and why it has to stay open during whole process. Hope it works for you. good luck

Will give it a go. Thanks.

WOW sorry dude!! Just stating that it is hard to get parts...

Never mind, just been frustrated that I'm doing my best but that machine still is a brick...

Fellow techs just follow up. New SSD board solved this.
Basically on 4e series you see only two pillars it's going to be SSD.
As stubborn as I'm when they get the hell out of me...

Had one machine stuck on 2 pillars, fans and lights are working but can't boot. It will restart itself after about 10 minutes sitting. Well tried to remove-finisher, ADF, dual scan board, HDD, tried FW, trouble reset, tried re-seating SSD and memory module. Nothing. So inevitably I need new SSDB...but KM said there is no new in their warehouse.
Any ideas? I know that probably fitting SSD from another machine won't work but has anyone tried it and have any clues?
Doing a favour for a friend...

I've only used SSD together with MFP from an old machine.
