Bought a roland sc540 with a weak test print for yellow and zero printing coming from lc and lm. cleaned the heads and seemed to be making improvements on all but the lclm. however when replacing ribbon cables to the head i saw a spark. now it wont print anything it will still cut and gives me no error codes. i checked the fuses and they seem to be in good shape also replaced the transistor that controls head power. Not sure where to look next. any advice is much appriciated.

That's why you want to turn off the main power in the back and unplug it as well, just to be sure. You may have blown the head board on it unfortunately.

So the printer is not printing ANY color but the 3 fuses check out as Not blown? And the replacement transistor checks out?
You have nowhere to go but up from here!

yes it checks out fuses check out and no printing. spoke to a guy yesterday said it was a 150.00 bench fee to see if it was even repairable plus cost to fix. does this sound about right? also ive found some new head boards for around 600 so by the time he fixes it i might be half the cost of new so might aswell go that route. thanks for the thoughts everyone.
thanks for the deep and incredibly sound advice.
Maybe just call in a Roland tech?
