I figure that I should probably replace the heater, if I am overhauling the fuser. Anyway, thanks for all your assistance.

Some day, I'll learn to do arithmetic.   Power = Volt^2 / Resistance For equal power at both line voltages: P = 117^2 / 15 = 913 watts (cold) 913 = 220^2 / R R = 220^2 / 913 = 53 ohms   -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

Thanks!   Heh, being you can get a whole new UPS for $40...   http://www.microcenter.com/product/319826/Standby_Series_550VA_UPS_with_USB-Serial_Ports,_GreenPower_UPSTM,_and_RJ11_Protection   and the replacement battery runs around $30, I really don't see the point.   Even the retail places like Office Depot and NewEgg selling the complete unit for $52, it's still not much of a decision to make.   -bruce     Besides Money, Ecologic impact should also be am important factor. It requires a lot less land fill to recycle a battery vs replacing the whole unit. Our Planet earth is in trouble, we have to consider it aswell as just money.   Shaun

The battery is > probably crap and I don't think I would trust the dealer.   All that may not matter though.   I dunno if you caught this story a day or two ago:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxZDzXv4fnM   The short version if you don't want to watch the whole thing, the guy owns an expensive Nagra digital recorder where the rechargable battery is a $700 replacement item.   He took it apart and found a single Lithium cell battery and "foam". The battery is about $40.   I mean people who buy/need Nagra hardware probably wouldn't care, the point is, you can get ripped off on both ends of the market.   -bruce bje@ripco.com
