C250i cyan background

[goose]

Today I had a C250i with a cyan background and poor print quality on the copies. Demo page was reasonably ok as were the calibration sheets. This pointed to a scanner issue. When I looked at the scanner the, exposure leds were actually blue instead of white!

I changed the exposure assembly with another machine and copies are now ok, exposure lamps are white.

Just thought i'd share :)

the exposure lamps are now RBG LEDs. needs all three channels to make white.

Means red led isn't emitting, good catch.

That's what I figured. There's no way they could emit blue otherwise! Could have been a poor connection, but have yet to test the "faulty" unit.
