    Hi everyone, I am working on a Ricoh mpc3001 which says insert cyan and magenta photoconductors even though I've changed the drums. does anyone have any ideas on this please? As I say I have have tried other drums and cleaned the connector at the back. Thank you.

    What happens if you swap the Yellow PCU with your Cyan or Magenta? If it's still asking for same PCU's your connectors on back of machine are screwing around. If it starts asking for Yellow PCU you have the wrong PCU

    If you know they are correct pcu's remove all toners and pcu's restart machine put pcu's back one by one closing the front door each time see if warning goes away each time if all ok then put toners back one by one and you may have a faulty toner chip

    Sounds to me like someone may have tried using a MP C2800 black PCU without properly modifying the connector between the PCU and the development unit.B2C_Drum_Cheat_Sheet_v2[1].pdf
