Take some pictures of the damper area. We never really discussed how you know the ink is flowing during the cleanings. There should be no air in the lines above the dampers and when you run a cleaning, you should see ink flowing down the waste tubes into the waste tank. There is always some residual ink in the lines but during a cleaning you should see strong flow of ink.

So the printer goes thru the motion of printing but doesn't actually jet any ink? You can see ink going thru the maintenance station when it is cleaning?

If both of those statements are true then you most likely have a blown F2 fuse. The F2 fuse on most main boards is just above the black heat sink in the top right of the board. It should be a 750ma fuse and should be easy to replace.

You mentioned in your first post that you replaced the cables, are you sure you followed the folds from the old cables on the new cables? Also make sure that the cables are centered when plugging them in, if not they can make contact with two cables and cause issues. I have attached a picture of a 628X main board, the fuse location on the 1624 should be in one of the two circled areas.

i have great ink.
no air in the lines coming in to the dampers
and on cleaning good flow from both waste tubes

What about these two questions?

What about these two questions?

yes sir
it pulls ink for cleanings
and nothing when i do a nozzle check
at this point everything is new but the cr board.

fuses are all showing continuity i check the ones you both said to look at plus all the ones on the main.
and the one and only on the cr board.

this thing was printing prefect till that head strike......

3000 buck later nothing.

this has been days so a cr board?

It is very rare that a CR Board would cause this issue. It is almost always a blown F2 fuse. Did you try to test the fuses outside of the main board? We have seen false good readings when it is in some boards.

i think ill do that now

i pulled them all and they are good
then tryed again......nothing. even sent a print over nothing.

 

[Helltown concepts]

iam at a total loss

 

[chrisphilipps]

At this point without seeing the printer myself I would have to say the main board is probably shot.

 

[Helltown concepts]

that is not a plug and play that something you got to do the firmware and such??

Sorry to hear about your issue man. What caused the head strike if you don't mind me asking. I know what a bummer it is to have a printer down, and wish you the best getting it up and going.

too high heat on reflective...it wasnt even a bad strike....but here i am

what i really need is what order and folder the cables go in iam second guessing myself and cant find that info
