JV-33 Error 205, have replace cable

[petesign]

Over the last week, I would come in and see a error 205 on the machine, reboot and goes away. Today it didnt go away. I ordered and replaced the cables to the print head, as seen in the pic. Also looked around and saw a thread where someone had this issue and blew fuses - are those the fuses shown on the second photo? The clear one looks fine, cant tell anything on the white one.

Ive got a ton of jobs, and have no idea what I am going to do. Any help or guidance to the right way would be very appreciated.
Thank you!

Update, after sitting an hour after replacing the cable, it booted. Something loose, or board going bad maybe?

The board is the headboard? The cable from printhead to the headboard? Is the cable you replaced?
If the headboard have problem, will lead to the printhead damage.

Honestly I don't know which board is which, just knew that the cable with the two bends in it was supposedly notorious for messing up, so I ordered it and replaced it first. (its the cable that plugs into the side of the head and goes to the board up top under a small square cover (im guessing thats the head board)..

I just printed 30 linear feet of banner material with no issues, but I know its a matter of time. This machine is 5 years old, still running ss21 inks on the original print head. I try to take care of it the best I can, but it is an item that wears out eventually.

How would I know if it;'s the head board, or something else, and has anyone figured out the cheap head replacement that the jerks at epson have blocked from day one?

yes, the head cable from printhead to the board, that board is the headboard.
How is the printing performance , nozzle test? is it normal?

Test draw looks good, everything appears to be functioning well today. No errors yet *fingers crossed*
