Email for details.   Hi Jeff,   You said: My guess is that you dumped some toner on > the page from the toner cartridge.   I don't know how to interpret your guess. :-)   Here are pictures of the left side of the rollers in the fuser assembly: http://webpages.charter.net/mrfixiter/Repair/HP-fuser-roller-1.jpg http://webpages.charter.net/mrfixiter/Repair/HP-fuser-roller-2.jpg   I didn't see anything that was caked on but you can definitely see that the there are some inconsistencies in the color.of roller-1. Roller-2 looked rather normal except there seemed to be some waviness in the way it reflected light as I was looking at with a magnifying glass.   I decided to swap out the fuser with another LJ4000. I also created a "printer cleaning page" via the control panel and so far it's printing better.   Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA

Clean the relevant roller.   > NT   There were times that parts of the image were reprinted (think old TV with rabbit ears receiving a secondary bounced signal) at a specific interval.   I used the repetitive defects ruler in the manual which is also shown here: http://www.printertechs.com/printer-troubleshooting/repetitive-defects-rulers/138-repetitive-defects-ruler-laserjet-4000-4050   The spacing of the defect was 76mm which put the fuser roller as one of the primary suspects. I decided to swap out the fuser assembly with another machine that I had which wasn't in service and the problem seems to have been corrected for now.   Thanks for your reply. -- David Farber Los Osos, CA

A replacement is your only real option. I completely agree,i dont know any product that i could paint even on a perfectly flat surface,hard enough to withstand the friction Furthermore the burned PCB could have lost insulation.   I started drawing an identical PCB some days ago The problem is to get the right distances and positions of tracks and vias,and some of them almost disappeared ,despite their function looks trivial(unless strange crossings). The most precise method i found was doing an accurate photo,and using the pixel meter of a free image editor as GIMP to get the distances. Once drawn,i will print it on a transparent sheet to check it versus the real one   Thanks for your time   Diego   --- Questa email è stata esaminata alla ricerca di virus da AVG. http://www.avg.com

Since the housing comes apart would it be possible to have a machine shop make up a spacer so you would have a little more room to work with? I don't know what your robot head looks like so I really don't know what you are working with. But since I own a machine shop I tend to see machining answers to problems. Could you post a link to a picture of the robot head? I'm curious about it. Eric

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Apr 10 04:20PM +0100 Printer only used monthly , perhaps when new then parking in the cart dock at the side perhaps works, but not when years old. A bit of a bind, but less of a bind than squirting air-duster etc to unblock an ink cart etc etc. At the end of each session remove the carts. Grab a couple of couple of large party balloons with the neck cut off. Stretch over the active face of each cart with a drop of meths/denatured-alcahol in each balloon and store on a ledge with balloons dangling.

I have a few FRNs already, as the FRN guy walked me through the whole process, where I advise you have, ahead of time, this written down:   1. You must give them a real email address (they send a verification note). 2. You can register for as many FRNs as you want with that email address. 3. The password is a bitch (no fewer than 12 characters, no more than 15 characters, a number, both cases, & a special character) 4. Best best is to register for a "regular" FRN & don't give them the SSN   Here are the steps: A. Go to the FCC web site https://www.fcc.gov B. On the top blue bar, press the "Licensing & Databases" tab https://www.fcc.gov/licensing C. On the left side, click the "FCC Registration System (CORES)" link https://www.fcc.gov/licensing-databases/fcc-registration-commission-registration-system D. On the right hand side, click "Register and update Username Account" https://apps2.fcc.gov/fccUserReg/pages/login.htm E. On the right hand side, click to create a new account https://apps2.fcc.gov/fccUserReg/pages/createAccount.htm F. Check your email for the verification mail & click the verification link G. Now go back to step C/D to "Create, update and associate FRN(s)" https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userLogin.do H. When you log in, you'll end up in your "user home" https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/userHome.do I. Click on the "Register New FRN" link https://apps.fcc.gov/cores/regEntityType.do?csfrToken=6dP6ZynBdGwNQz8EU22jH46gL0NnA7SVu8PoiJJPXTCFnyAhzPAxQAvfjuDVtKvo J. It's ok to tell the truth here that you're an individual in the USA K. When you hit the "continue" button, now you have to decide Do you want a "restricted use FRN" (i.e., only requires 4 SSN digits) <--- this is what the FRN helpdesk suggested Do you want a "regular use FRN" (i.e., doesn't require a SSN) L. I did both, so I have _two_ FRNs now, but you can pick one. M. Most people will pick a "regular" FRN so let's do that now N. Click on "CORES FRN Registration" link & press "continue" O. Fill out the form noticing the line that says: If you do not have a Social Security Number, select a reason: P. The available reasons are: - Applied for - Exempted Activities <----- this is what the ULS helpdesk suggested - The individual is a petitioner - The individual is foreign Q. Enter in the following required information: - First Name: (it takes an initial) - Last Name: - Address: - City: (always amazes me they ask for city when they have zip) - Zip: - State: (always amazes me they ask for state when they have zip) - Email: (why ask this if you're already logged in?) R. Press "Submit" and you'll get an immediate on-screen confirmation: "Thank you for registering with the FCC. As of today, Apr 5 2018 9:44AM, you have been assigned the following FCC Registration Number (FRN): 0072678193" S. Write that number down as you don't seem to get an email confirmation.   Don't do what I ended up doing, which is that the FRN helpdesk told me to create a "restricted use FRN" so I did (which still requires the last four digits of your SSN); but the ULS helpdesk told me to create an "Exempted Activities" FRN (which they told me is for people who don't want to give out their SSN) - so now I have both.   You can't delete the FRN on the web page but you can ask the FCC to delete it by sending an email to "coreshelpdesk@fcc.gov" and the form 323 people don't have a phone number but you can ask questions of them via email to "form323@fcc.gov".   Let me know if I left anything out that you need, but this seems to be the process, where both the CORES and FRN people told me lots of people ask the question (so why isn't it in the FCC FAQ?).

I have repaired several items around my house by replacing capacitors.   One give away for me is to take the heat gun of my hot air rework station and playing it around one or two capacitors at a time. If the set starts working or manking a big change I replace them.

If it powers up, recap the electros.
