Konica Minolta C353 Grinding Noise

[icafe]

Hi,

I need help with my Konica Minolta C353, when switched on, it makes some grinding noise and it says Waste toner box needs to be replace and waste toner box seems empty. I really don't have idea if the grinding noise is related to the waste box or something else. I will really appreciate any help.
Thanks..

Hi there!
I think you have a great doorstopper now. The waste-toner tubes are clogged, in worst case the gears are gone. Fixing that is a hell of a ride!

Not sure how it can be assumed right away that waste tube is clogged. Before pronouncing the machine dead you have to empty waste box and vacuum out waste toner shute where it goes into waste box. Also pull the transfer belt and vac out transfer belt cleaning unit, make sure gears turn freely on the cleaning unit. If waste box is empty than maybe the waste toner would have somewhere to go!
