Hi, I have most parts for the SP540V in stock. Am in the UK but can send overseas no problem. Will send you a DM. Most are used and tested OEM Roland parts, not the cheap chinese copies

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure Epson look into any company wanting to buy heads on a trade basis from them to see if they are actually making printers as if they were just reselling it would step on the toes of their official resellers. I know a lot of electronics sold on sign in china are...

I always wondered if the reason they don't have a head rank is because they are seconds? Heads sold to Roland, Mutoh etc.. all have head ranks...

Can you explain to us the full process of how you 'restore' these printheads along with photographic proof please :)

Some big companies spend hundreds of thousands on branding :( I guess the design companies see them coming !

If they are suspiciously cheap ( like half the price ) or are sold as refurbished, then they are a scam. You will be sent an old non or partly working head, and have zero chance of getting a refund from them. Nobody is selling new epson heads for less than the trade price for new ones. There are...

I agree, they are all AI they have knocked up in a few minutes - pretty much everything in their logo examples! There is no design has gone on there You can always tell as they all have that non professional cartoon look. How many actual professional companies do you see have cartoon logo?

Thanks Pat !

I'm not local sadly, but can help with remote diagnosis and parts if you are having issues with the printer. Feel free to DM me

Not something I do a lot of, and can't find any clear examples of the logo online. Anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks in advance

No problem, glad you got it fixed

I think it is more likely the transistor has blown given the other problems the OP had. A bad joint on them is pretty rare

I have the transistors in stock, I'm in the UK but can send to SA no problem. I don't have any fuses at the moment, but you should be able to get these somewhere there from an electronics supply place

Don't put a 5A fuse in there or run it without a fuse as you can end up ruining your board ! The glass fuses are just for the main printer power, they don't have anything to do with the heads. F2 is the one that is for the head. It looks like you have blown one of the transistors when the head...

Also, when you did the work on the printer, did you unplug it from the wall and leave at least 15 minutes before doing it as if there is power in the board still and you remove or dislodge the head cables, this can blow the fuses or transistors. It is odd that nothing would print though as that...

Can you post a pic of the fuses you checked so we can see if they are the correct ones you are looking at?

Have you tested the head fuses on the mainboard ? These are small surface mounted ones, and are the ones that control the heads. It is possible transistors can be damaged without blowing the fuses, but is unusual for it to happen.

Keep the cable as short as possible. You can damage the mainboard physically by plugging the cable in and out but it could be a coincidence it started happening after you changed the network setup and the board just started failing at that time.

Yes it is, you can flip them over and sometimes this will work. The strips arent expensive though so I would just buy a new one

Pinch rollers will effect the cut on the feed, not the scan. When its the scan is out then its generally the encoder
