Thanks again to everyone who helped me get the Bizhub 423 refurbished for my friend last year. She is very grateful and it's been running like a champ!
I had such a good time working on that machine that I jumped on the opportunity to pick up a (broken) Bizhub 227 when I had the chance. When booting, this system hangs with the two pillars on the display (see image below). I can hear the ADF move and power supply fan running, but those are the only signs of life. The system had it's hard drive removed before I picked it up, but I think it should still boot beyond these two pillars, shouldn't it?
In reviewing other posts on this site, see references to a 'recovery tool' or an 'MFP Reset Tool' that might help, but I'm not sure what that might be or where to get it and how to use it. I also see posts that say it is likely the eMMC Board that is faulty, but how would I test that to be sure?
Before I start going down a rabbit hole of my own making, I thought I would ask the experts for their advice; How would you recommend I begin to troubleshoot this?
