REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

Mechanical Adjustment
Checking the Nip Width of the Pressure Roller.  The fixing unit is not designed to allow the adjustment of the pressure (nip width); however, the incorrect nip width can cause fixing problems. Follow the procedures below to check the nip width:
  • Make an all-black print of A4 size using an EP-22 cartridge, and bring the print to the customer’s site.
  • Place the all-black print in the multi-purpose tray of the printer, with the printed side facing down.
  • Select face up delivery by turning the delivery switching lever down.
  • Press on the test print switch.
  • Turn OFF the printer when the leading edge of the print emerges at the faceup tray. After 10 seconds from tuning OFF the printer, open the cartridge cover and take out the print.
  • Measure the width of the glossy band across the paper and check that it meets the requirements as shown in Table.
