Water in a laser printer is NOT a good thing.

That being said, one of my users' window blew open, and it snowed in his office.

Today, his printer (laserjet 4000) is showing a 55.1.

Well, WAS showing a 55.1

I took it apart and cleaned it... POST tests show power supply is OK, and I tried a different formatter board...

Now, it just sits on "Initializing", and the drive motor starts and stops....

I'm figuring the DC controller board (which I cleaned with LPS and scrubbed down) is questionable, but a 55.1 indicates communications between the DCC and the Formatter... so I don't know.

I'll let it dry out for another day, and try it again, I guess.

You might check the laser pcb board too.

Yeah... I ended up caniballizing another 4000 that I had already been stealing parts from (did I mention my budget this year is REALLY REALLY tight? lol)

He's up and running again....
