Repairing the C076 PSB Board Assembly
This section gives instructions for repairing the C076 PSB board assembly. It describes various
problems, likely causes, checkpoints, and solutions. The checkpoint column provides proper
waveforms, resistance values, and other information for each component of the C076 PSB.
WARNING
The OPERATE button on the control panel only turns the secondary power circuit on or off, so
the primary power circuit is live as long as the printer is connected to an AC power outlet.
Do not touch the heat sink attached to the FET (Ql) when the printer is powered.
