Yup...if I only had peck it would've been done last week.

Yeah, I can pull information off the old board (machine still prints). The machine is working but I am having other issues that may be related to the board as it isn't printing properly after a board repair. I can pull info from it using copeck currently. Still not 100% sure the board is the...

So I got a new main board but from what I understand the only way to get the settings transferred is through the peck6 software which I don't have. Anyway to do this?

Well I will say unplugging that sensor did nothing to change the test print. But maybe if the sensor is fried it would be the same as unplugging it. As I said, it's a cheap fix so I'll try it anyway (even though it looks like it could be time consuming to change out).

That is really odd but it is a cheap thing to try out so I'll order one today. I'll report back with (hopefully good) results.

It's a Roland VS-640. Are you saying the crop sensor was causing a color to spray crazy like my samples? Seems kind of odd for that sensor to have anything to do with actually printing but considering that sensor is only about $20 I'd be willing to try it. Still not sure why the 2 different...

Well my thought was to simply replace the main board but now that I am having different results from two different (brand new) carriage boards I am not confident a new board will will fix the problem. My original plan was to order a new main board last week until these carriage boards started...

I guess this machine is going in the dumpster.

To make things even more confusing, I just so happen to have an extra, brand new print carriage board laying around (was sent an extra by mistake). So I decided to install it just to make sure the one I just replaced wasn't the problem. Well the print results are different....what the...

Here is the latest: Sent the board back for repair for what could possibly fix it (D/A converter changed out). That didn't fix it so I bought ANOTHER new head and that didn't fix it either. So I'm on my 3rd head, second carriage board, main board has been repaired twice. Replaced all the...

So I just bought a new head since that "had" to be the solution to my problem only to find out that didn't fix anything. So now I have 2 used heads that I am guessing work just fine but now one is out of the machine and full of ink. What is the proper way to store this head? Or is it just...

The cables from the carriage board to the head are new. I just checked them to make sure they were okay (unplugged them and plugged them all back in). And the print is still the same. I suppose I could try the old cables to make sure I don't have a bad one but sure that isn't the problem...

See attachment. Been having all kinds of problems trying to get this machine back up (this is the latest). Finally traced the problem down to the board needing repaired. After the repair the head prints now but magenta is spraying everywhere. The test print shows me printing just a black...

I could see that the pin on the lock wasn't popping back up so I took it apart, and added some WD-40 to it. Now it works as it is supposed to. New limit is set and that is working. Now on to the next issue.

Okay, that's what I thought as I'm pretty sure I have done this on my other machine at some point. Even if I get it to "take" the setting, it seems that the motor error occurs once the head tries to cap itself. The only odd thing I can see in the video that is slightly different than mine is...

So I am supposed to force-ably separate the 2 carriages? In the video it looks like he just pulls on the tool carriage away from the edge with one hand. I have to pry hard to get mine apart. Which is what I have been doing but I am having the problems listed in the original post doing it that...

I am following the directions exactly as shown from video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEYS7A6fpbU (this is my machine) and the tool carriage simply isn't disconnecting from the head carriage. It stays stuck to the magnet after it is supposed to release. I end up having to pry very hard...

VS-640 wouldn't "cut sheet" so I decided to the the LIMIT POSITION & CUT DOWN POSITION INITIALIZE procedure. But when I do this the tool carriage is VERY hard to separate from the head carriage. From what I understand when doing this procedure the magnet should let go so the tool carriage...

Both the small fuses on the main board were out so I replaced them. As soon as I turn on the machine they blow. Decided to unplug the cables from the head to make sure it wasn't the head or the cables and it still blows them both as soon as I turn it on. So I would assume this eliminates the...

Replaced the fried carriage board but still not printing. Not even sure what is left to replace at this point.
