I did reply on your recent post about this problem. Feel free to DM me as well

Yes the head fuses should both have continuity, The fuses have a common input from pin 3 on CN9 ( the white 4 pin connector on the edge of the board near them - this connects to the end of the fuse closest to the edge of the board ) If they are working properly you will also have continuity at...

He posted this over 6 years go, so am guessing he fixed it :)

OK is definitely a mainboard problem. Your black channel is getting the signal to fire at the wrong time. This is either down to the head transistors or part of the transistor circuit ( there is more to it than just testing the transistors themselves ) or the main chip is damaged. It also looks...

I have seen this before, the problem was caused by a worn mechanism so the wheel wouldnt give enough pressure to keep the blade down. The only fix was to replace it . I should have them in stock if you need one

There is a lot more to it than just swapping the head over and not making a mess! If you have never done this before I would really advise getting a technician to do it for you as you can easily damage the new head or something else, plus you need to calibrate it and set it up properly once fitted.

Have you tested the switch connections just to make sure? If the switch is definitely ok then the board would be the next step. If you want to DM me with your location I can let you know the price and details

Just ignore it and press enter, it is just a warning, the printer can't actually tell if they are installed or not

With printer B did you see an actual test print from that printer? That damage to the head hasn't just happened, the seller would have known that was there. I have heard of sellers who will photograph a test print from another printer and pretend it is from the one they are selling! Did you...

Replace the pump it is faulty. When this happens the printed doesnt actually pump out the ink. The pump doesnt seal properly and syphons the ink out, normally overnight! Then the waste bottle fills and you end up with a big puddle under the printer

Nah I reckon he is still sitting there waiting for a reply, and now thankfully he can get his printer running again :D

Pump replacement is pretty easy once you find them :) Is just a case of swapping them over

If its not for the white and metallic I don't think it has the recirculating ones as you don't need to circulate the normal inks. If you trace the pipes back from the dampers it should lead you to where the pumps are on yours, and using the XC540E manual should be able to see how to get to them
