Just an FYI, you likely had some file system issues preventing the machine from booting (Command) Apple + S at the boot tune will enter into single user mode at the command prompt type /sbin/fsck -fy > return It will check the file system (fsck = file system check) Likely will find some...

We're witnessing similar changes in mentality over here in Australia - what it really comes down to is excess anger, hatred and prejudice looking for a reason or cause. Unfortunately we've got mean spirited people in the media, and, politicians willing to play to the lowest common denominator...

If you force the cleaning fluid through the DX4 heads with too much pressure there is a risk of delaminatiing the partition betwen both sides. How do I know...yep you guessed it, done it myself Better to draw the liquid through from a small reservior below, at least at first, that way at lest...

Kent at Mac Media may be able to do a service exchange on your firewire board...he also does repairs to firewire boards Costs less that way than buying another one outright He always gets two thumbs up from anyone that's dealt with him http://www.signs101.com/forums/member.php?u=12239

How are those big boy pants fitting?

Well it's experimental territory, but I think you're pretty much on the money with what you anticipate happening, error 07's. Kent will know his reasoning behind wanting you to start things up in that sequence. My opinion is that you won't damage anything (expensive - heads, relatively...

It's not mad scientist territory I replaced my power transistors to still have no output and 6 volts where there should be 42 volts. I've got 42 volts at a voltage regulator and this was dropping to 6 volts at fuse 4 (another blown power transistor with another component causing this - parts...

Artbot, I've finally figured out why mine stopped printing and can give you a way to diagnose yours if you're interested. It's one voltage measurement with the machine powered on, which you do once it has stopped outputting ink. peace out

artbot - don't despair, my issues is specific as I had a drop of dilute ammonia based cleaning fluid shorted out my head. My fault for not checking everything thoroughly. In all likelihood as your main board was given the all clear by Kent, I'd take that reassurance as gospel. Anyway, be calm...

No I wasn't replacing the large data cables, though I was considering it. Abandon the idea of testing the cables for continuity - I had thought that possibly there could be broken conductors where they are folded back on themselves near the head unit. They are more robust than that, they...

Brief decription of what I did when I had error 07 on all four heads (8 channels) When I powered it up, I got the error 07 ******** for all eight heads. It happened just as it made the first move whilst initialising and the main cables pivot slightly. I had suspected those cables/contacts...

Check the numbers on the cables, with the group the way they are in the pic, they'll only be in the right number order with the connectors facing the correct direction peace out

As sightline pointed out, failing components and switchmode power supplies can be really difficult to diagnose and a real PITA as they diminish your faith in the machine The working, then not, then working again routine is just plain torture, it's better when they just stop working, full stop...

Leave it powered up for the duration... Worst case scenario - If it stops printing on you before you'vve done your current deliverables, then you'll have to ship it to Kent for repairs ASAP Best case scenario, it does the while lot, and then you can ship it to Kent for repair. Change of state...

You know I wouldn't p*#s on him if he was on fire, and I might just have a can of lighter fluid and a pack of matches in my hands at the time... What has actually has is a narcissistic disorder, I used to know people much like that.

Just a thought - aren't permanent chips usually collateral damage from firmware upgrades? IIRC I've read about several operators unwittingly falling for this trap BTW no actual personal experience, just what I've read

looks blocked &/or cracked, are you able to flip the ends to use the section below the pump?

Sounds like the firmware isn't loading & or executing properly. Will it boot into maintenance mode? I'm wondering if reflashing the firmware might help, but I'd try booting into maintenance mode first. Also wondering if checking connections to the IO board/keyboard might help peace out

Check that those rubber fingers aren't broken/missing on the side which you're unable to pull ink on. Reason is that they engage the pump mechanisms when it rotates one direction and disengage them when it rotates the opposite, so they may be holding the tubing closed permanently. You may not...

I had a similar issue with an EPSON 7000 - same heads, same capping station, and very likely same pumps. I had a leaky yellow damper (that was only part of it), the tubing was only partially blocked, but it was cracked inside the pump itself...plus the two small L shaped rubber fingers that...
