Had to do some emergency repairs on my 540v tonight...the left/right fixed pinch roller frames were sprung, and they would not clamp the media evenly. Not a problem until I did a print/lam/cut, then the media would skew (rollers not holding even tension).
I pulled the left/right pinch wheel assemblies and swapped parts with (2) of the removable pinch wheel assemblies. Had to pull the control board mount to get to a snap ring on the shaft (it was buried), but other than that it was pretty straight forward. One thing I did do was take LOTS of pics before and during disassembly.
Total time was about 2-hrs...took some time to clean stuff while I had it open (hopefully never again). Running some prints now...will lam and cut in the morning to see if it paid off.
