Make sure (if you order new) that you call them and ask if they have it in stock! or will it have to come factory direct? I ordered a hard-drive and it literally took a couple of months to receive from Taiwan. Prolly because they had to kill the cow to make the steak. who knows. :frustrated:
Found the problem. Its where the yellow ink tube ends and plugs into little black plastic nipple (yeah, I said nipple) with a chrome metal cap. ok, I dont know what its called but its circled in red. See pics. This plastic piece has a 90 degree elbow that inserts into the yellow ink tube. This...
Nice. Okay, Ill check the connection then purchase the prime cartridge and tube assembly. JACK, how much was your tube assembly? Anyone have a part number on the primeheads?
Oh, on another note, Im off to puchase an HP5000 42" off of Craigs list for parts at $400. Dont think that the tubes...
Doh!... Tube assambly Q1253-60041 is 519.00 ouch! :omg: Do I need the whole assembly? or is there another part (just the tubes ) I should be looking at?

Did you just replace the lines? or did you replace them in conjunction with other parts? I found this on HP's site... sounds like he is saying the same thing? Read below....
"New printheads work at first because they are preprimed. When printheads stop putting ink down on paper, run a internal...
Wait, if a fuse is blown then it wouldn't print at all. right? Currently, I can replace the head, it will print for a short time but then blow again.
Trying to locate the fuse now... you wouldn't happen to have a pic, would you? Or any other way for me to locate it? what does it look like? so...
Anyone know why a single printhead would suddenly stop laying ink? I have a HP5000 that keeps blowing the yellow printhead. All of the other colors are fine. I'd replace the yellow head then a couple of prints later, nothing. Somethings gotta be zapping it? Bad ribbon? Capacitors? fuses? dirty...
May I ask... what is a ink cart? Is that the cartridge? and what is the chip? Is that on the cartridge? Trying to search why I keep blowing a yellow printhead myself!
Thanks

If your computer stopped communicating with the printer, it sounds like a compute/software issue. What symptom made you send the board in for repair? Did you still pay the guy even tho he couldnt fix the problem and potentially made it worse? anywho, the only thing I have to offer is to first...
I tested the cable cards to the heads for resistance and they are okay. Yes, I did stack the fuse. That must sound funny to you but there is nothing wrong with doing it that way. besides the Roland 300V is currently up and working correctly. The left head was bad which was blowing the...
Does anyone know how many transistors and how many capacitors there are and where are they located? Are they in the service manual? Also, what do I check for? Ohms? voltage?
I have a multi meter and Im not afraid to use it...I had great success finding the blown fuse and soldering another on...
Hey, just reading this old post and have the same symptoms. I was wondering how to test the transistor? or can you give the techs name that has fix this board for you?
