Hello,
First off I want to thank all the forum members for their valuable information over the past 2 years, I have read many post and have learned a lot but know there is still much to learn.
I purchased a new SP-300V at the end of 2008 it has been a problem child since about a week after I purchased it but that is neither here nor there.
A few days ago I went to do a print and the Y/M were not printing so I replaced the the manifold and the dampers on the yellow and magenta and tried to print again still no Y/M so I read in the forums here and decided to swap print head cables.
I moved the cables from black and cyan to yellow and magenta and taped over the contacts of Y/M cables and then proceeded to print again by printing black and cyan and the yellow and magenta head printed perfectly on about a 20x20 piece so from reading in the forum I decided to check F2 and F3 fuse sure enough F2 fuse was blown so I assumed I had maybe touched the cable on something or seated improperly when I changed the manifold and dampers.
I then shut down printer and switched back cables and went and purchased a replacement fuse thinking I had found the problem. The next day I removed main board and cables and when I had the board on bench I checked The fuses for continuity and now the F3 fuse was also blown so I replaced them both. I then put board back in and hooked up cables and tried a print now I have no colors firing, checked fuses and both F2 and F3 were now blown.
I purchased three fuses so I put the remaining fuse in F3 and then only plugged in servo board cable and control panel cable and when sub power button was pushed it blew the fuse again. I can do everything but print, it cuts fine I can access service menu fine just cannot print.
I have more fuses coming to maybe help me diagnose problem further but I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and if so they could guide me in the right direction. Was wondering if it could be that the capacitors still had current in them when I hooked cables back up but that is just a guess and can not try until new fuses arrive.
I know that having an experienced Roland Tech is the proper way to do things since that is what they are trained to do, but machine is out of warranty and I am recovering from a major injury with no insurance and financial situation is bleak at best.
I would appreciate feedback from anybody that has had a similar problem or someone that can give me a few ideas to try. I have scoured over the forums and read a few similar problems but none that are quite the same. So please forgive me if this sounds like a repost of some sort.
Thank You
