We had a bad thunderstorm go through NW Arkansas about 20 days ago. We were shutting down and unplugging equipment, not fast enought I guess. Two heads, Magenta and Cyan (group A) quit. I finally determined with some help from Signs 101 that fuse F4 on the head board was blown. A Roland authorized service tech was in the area. He soldered in a new fuse in, but it blew again. Verified that heads would print by using anohter ribbon cable to fire them. He left to come back with another head board, print carriage board & ribbon cables. I later soldered in another fuse, even with ribbon cables to head board disconnected, it blew fuse when power was turned on. Tech was here today and switched out the two boards and ribbon cables going to heads. Heads were all firing, then while he was running his tests, blew F4 fuse again. We soldered another fuse onto the new header board, left if for five minutes without the ribbon cables for A Group hooked up, blew it again. He has been talking to Roland. They say maybe a power supply board, maybe main board, maybe replace four boards, maybe the insurance company will total the printer. Any body have any ideas? Insurance company involved. I have bills for repairs and jobs backed up. I don't yet see an end in sight and not getting a postive feeling that they can fix this thing.
Any help appreciated.!!!
