MX 3114N Blinking Green light won't turn on

Firmware on the sd card and hdd? How do I check the firmware on the hdd and how do I replace that. Do I order a hdd with firmware on it from sharp?

Yes, part of it, the e- manual and watermark firmware is stored on the HDD, the ICU/ boot firmware is located of the SD card. If you were to install a new HDD in the machine it will format automatically but you will receive e manual/ watermark error codes.

I agree with driving lot of miles, if you have a faulty sd card and clone it to another new sd card, the cloned sd card could be faulty as well.

I would start with a known good SD card image and copy it to a new SD card.

OK. So I will start with a good known card and try that and then maybe look at the hdd. Do I need to go to sharp for this?

any sdcard of the same or bigger size will do.

You just need another card that works to copy it with HDD RAW COPY

Or you need an image of a working card.

I have a new sd card of the same size. I have the original sd card from the machine that may or may not be corrupt so I need known good firmware to put on the new card. Will sharp sell me this or can anyone here provide that which I am happy to pay for. I am assuming sharp either won't sell it to me or may do so at a higher price than on here.

I have lots of images but not for a MX-3114N. I am not sure if it a US model or not. I would say the file you copied off of the old SD card is corrupt and can't be used to copy to a new SD card.

Two options. Buy a new MX-3114N from Sharp. This will come loaded with the correct files on it. Option two is to find someone with a image from a good MX-3114N SD card OR someone willing to pull one from a working MX-3114N and copy it.

Thanks. I'm not back home til Friday. I will enquire with sharp then unless anyone else can help with the image beforehand. Im in the uk so i assume its a uk or europe model. I'm hoping it is just the card. The machine is great otherwise. Good for occasional scans and the odd print out

Correct the MX-3114N is a European model so our hands are tied here in the US. Chances are your SD has failed, start with that then the next logical step would be HDD.

Great. That is reassuring. Gives me confidence it is fixable. Thanks for everyones help. If anyone can assist me with the firmware at cost - that would be great. Otherwise I will now see if sharp will sell me that.
