Did you update ALL the fw files of just some of them?Originally Posted by alphablaster
If it has the HDD kit fitted disconnect it & power back on.

practically if I understand correctly, did you update, and immediately did the problem?
if so, the same thing happened to me on an mpc2004ex a year ago, if you've already done what copier tech says, and it didn't work, try this:
on start-up type [clear] + 1 + 4 + 3 + cancel (5 times), and then try to reload only the "system copy"
i am guessing you know the proper slot to install the firmware update from? though i have never tried it, my understanding is it can cause issues if not done in the proper way. that was one of the first things i learned as a ricoh tech.
It can only be done from the lower slot. If firmware (romdata) card is installed in the wrong slot, the machine doesn't even recognize it and will just boot up normally. In short, installing the card in the wrong slot will not cause a problem.
