You can't even change the firmware of one Mutoh model to another let alone another manufacturer's firmware back to a Mutoh unfortunately. As mentioned above, your best bet is finding a used board for sale and doing it that way.

Installing an unknown vinyl from some unknown shop onto a plane that is regulated by a federal agency sounds like a liability to me.

Yeah I'd at least have a window open with a fan with this machine.

While subbing it out is probably the best advice in order to make money, buying a used ValueJet 1324 or JV33 might be worth it to learn the ropes and have the capability to expand your products. That is if you're looking to become a sign shop. If not, it's probably not worth it.

I don't like throwing anyone under the bus because it's too easy to get a reputation. But sometimes you have to do it to preempt someone who's throwing you under the bus.

So there is a third tube but with that rubber stopper on there, it should pull good suction. Since there is absolutely no ink in the cap top sponge, I'd say either the pump is clogged, or the cap top is simply not sealing well. Make sure you are in low head height, and make sure the head height...

Mutoh is saying they are backordered until the end of August. You might try clean cut blades as mentioned above.

The fact that the cap is completely clean means no ink is being pulled during cleanings. Make sure the third tube is connected to the bottom of the cap top. If only 2 are connected, you will just pull air. Then try to flush cleaning solution through the pump and into the waste tank. Your pump...

I'm not sure unfortunately. I'll ask Mutoh and see what they say.

Only if it's the actual pump where the leak is coming from. You'll want to make sure that's where it's coming from. It could be a bad connection between two tubes for example. But I have seen the pumps just break internally before. Just don't leave the covers off for long periods of time...

This is true. When you go to training as a tech for a lot of these brands they basically teach you how to install the machine. They don't go over operation or troubleshooting usually. That's something you just have to pickup along the way. I have a few customers I call once in a while to ask...

It's either a bad connection or a tube ruptured inside a pump. You're going to have to get it cleaned up as best as possible and try to find where the leak is coming from. Looks like it's coming from the right pump from the pictures. They are fairly easy to replace.

There are people online offering to crack your firmware so it doesn't need cards. Just be careful as with any cracked software, the source isn't always super legit. Other than that, your ink end sensors in the yellow and cyan are probably just broken. When they break, they default to flagging...

I believe the Mutoh ValueCut cutters use Roland blades. They are rebranded GCC cutters which use the Roland blades.

Check your head cables and the long cables that go from the CR board to the main board. It's usually one of those that has a bad pin, ink splatter or corrosion on the leads, or otherwise damaged causing the short. Even if they look slightly off, I'd replace them.

As long as the fuses are the same rating, you can use the one from the 1304. The F2 fuse in my experience is 750mA not 2.5A so make sure before you swap them.

Here in Denver we simply chuck it out in the alley and it's usually gone within a couple hours. If you don't find a home for it I'd be willing to bet that works for you too.

Sounds like the fuse is probably good. Unfortunately it could be some other electrical issue in the machine.

As my mother always says, it's a trick I learned in the Army. She was never in the Army.

Most voltmeters have a setting for continuity. It should have a little speaker icon next to it and it beeps if the fuse has continuity. It should also just read 0 on the OHM setting.
