    [Error Code] Ricoh MP 2551 SC 553 Error code

    Initial call was copier had no power. (Customer stated they turned the machine off then tried to turn it on and didn't come on). I sent the power supply off and had it repaired. Now I get the SC 552. The copier will come on and start it's initial rotation about 10 sec codes out. The fuser looks new and I checked the heat lamp and connections. Also the heat lamp does start to get hot. (I do the SC fuser code clear). Any ideas would be a great help. Thanks so much !!!

        yep, can certainly relate to the dyslexia thing. Have you checked that the thermistors aren't built up with crap or out of place for some strange reason. seems a bit strange that this would have started after a blown LVPSU though.

          The thirmistors look really good but thinking that I will change them first. This is a really strange deal...

              I see where your coming from, I had Hytec do it. They always install it in a good machine to test it. Interesting theory...

                I've had few experiences with Hytec - but I hear almost all positive things; However, although I don't know how or what exactly is done to test the boards they repair, there's NO WAY they have an actual working machine to test every type of board they repair - that would be thousands.
                Whatever the case...as we know (only to well)...$hit happens

                keep us posted.

                  Will keep ya posted... I have had Hytec fix alot of boards for me... Outstanding company... I had one board that was burnt that I sent to them and they sent it back I couldn't even tell where it was burned (without looking closely) and it was the same board... I have alot of good things to say about them....

                          hey, im not the sub standard engineer who cant figure out or do basic troubleshooting! try reading the manual mr "i know it all but know fook all"


                          been doing this job for 20 plus years and i know that i start by checking the temp readings easily by sp 1106 before i even take the machine apart.

                          Good luck with fixing your attitude and the problem machine but your attitude will take more work!

                              your reply just proved my point.

                              as the saying goes "i could write what you know on the back of a postage stamp and still have room left"

                              theres no point having a discussion with you as your too far up your own arse to see out of it.

                              good luck with your attitude and minor work problem.
