damn that kinda sucks. could this be in the realm of a "DIY" fix? or what would the replacement part number be? i noticed quite alot of 3051ci new old stock parts being on sale/for cheap locally. so maybe with some luck i can find parts?
perhaps.... what would the chances be that the 3050ci has the same mechanical parts inside as the 3051ci?
i know the 3051ci features a improved CPU along with the paper cassete drawers being completely different.
but taking a quick glance at the internals. it appears to be pretty similair if not just a more outdated "brain" with the same "body' as what the 3051ci has under the hood...
sadly i do not know how much run time the 3050ci had though. the previous owner took out the code DIMM rather than the HDD so it's essentially useless/bricked now. so it could be at 40.000 prints but could also be 450.000.... so it could end up with a more worn out part.
i did export the maintenance report and pasted down some of the interesting pieces i found. i think it never had a drum replacement. (or any replacement parts?) it's done 41k colored copies. so it's not that much run time on those spacers. could moving/relocating the printer have caused damage to the spacers? to be fair i did just shove it in the back of a hatchback. i got it out as gracefully as i could but it did make a smack here or there.
besides that. based on these usage numbers. what would be some attention spots i should focus on when i tear this thing down and give it a deep clean? what are some general recomendations? i've worked with basic printers before in the family. but never such *unit* as this one. loving the printing/scanning quality so far though.
