Roland SC-500 doesn't power up

[racer96x]

Hey guys,

Been a while since I've come on here, and decided to jump into vehicle wraps. Picked up a Roland SC-500 for Race car wraps to incorporate into my business. Got a great deal on this printer, but it doesn't turn on. Before I spend hours reading electrical diagrams and pulling my hair out I figured I would check on the boards to see if someone else has a solution. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Had one of those, hate to ask but did you make sure switch on back is on?

I did. Checked with a volt meter that have power at the box. Switch has power and works. Power into the power board. That's where I stopped.

You saw it working before you bought it? And it now doesn't work since it being installed at your shop?

Please say he gave it to you or paid you to take it off his hands.

Yup. I got a real good deal on it. I know for what I'll use it for the money in is worth the money out. Just figured someone had a similar issue and could point me in a direction before I call roland to come out and check it out.

I'd just check the in and out of each board. I don't have the diagrams of that model.

I have an old SC-500 that is going to the waste container soon.

I you need parts let me know. (except heads and ink line parts. Machine has been unplugged for over half a year).

I can use the power supply for sure. I may just have to stock up on parts for this thing until it makes enough cash to replace it.
