Help with IR 2230 hard drive/firmware

[YJ1907]

Ok, thank you, Kuby. I took a leap of faith and ordered the HDD (FK2-4907-000) from Hytec. Will report back after it arrives...

Update: The HHD from Hytec has arrived today. Upon installation straight out of the box and plugging it in and powering on the machine, the first message I see on the screen is the dreaded e602-0001 message. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions about what the next step should be? TIA

After replacing the HDD you need to reinstall the firmware this is why you have the E602 error.

How much did you pay for the HDD from Hytec?

We can supply the firmware should you need it.

The total charge on the card was $149.00 (including shipping and taxes). Please let me know how to get in touch with you to get the correct firmware. Thank you

I still have few of these models out I get my HDDs from eBay they cost peanuts.

You can purchase the firmware from us at the site below.

I would return the hard drive. They are supposed to have firmware loaded on them.

And be sure to tell them that you needed it loaded with the firmware / system software.

When I was purchasing it, they specifically told me (in chat, on two separate occasions) that it would be a new HDD with no Canon products loaded, so I can't really in good conscience try to return it.

On the bright side though, I was able to purchase the SST/Firmware from Printer & Copier Firmware - www.printerfirmware.co.uk and load it up on the HDD, so my imageRunner 2230 is back to life and working fine now.

Thank you all, including Copier Tech

Good job on that. I lost a few customers because of that e602 and not having access to the firmware. Good job!
