10.48 -> If you see the error above, there are three
possibilities. You burned your motherboard, or
16.72 -> you burned your printhead, or you burned both.
We have this printer, smoke coming out of it.
30.08 -> The problem was the leaking ink. I
have to take this whole thing apart
35.12 -> and check the leaks. The ink
leaked into the printhead, and then
41.76 -> the person, whoever, turned the printer
on. There's a shot inside the printer.
49.6 -> The first thing I want to do is check the
motherboard. Typically, on the motherboard, there
54.72 -> are lots of writings. I am looking for the letter
F. Normally; the Epson uses F1 for the fuse.
63.12 -> In this case, I think it is F301. There should
be only one fuse for the whole motherboard. Did
69.76 -> you see the F301? Okay. That fuse is not
for the motherboard. That fuse is for the
75.76 -> printhead. You can have the motherboard intact,
but that fuse blows out. If the fuse is okay,
84.16 -> you start checking the transistors and checking
the capacitors. I'm going to have a separate
92.8 -> video show how to test and troubleshoot. I will
say this motherboard is okay. It's a good one.
102.24 -> Let me show you another board. This board
is CD16. The F1 fuse is right there.
111.28 -> Typically, if you blow the transistor or a MOSFET
or a capacitor, the motherboard will not turn on.
119.68 -> If you blow out the F1 fuse, the motherboard
still turns on, like in this case,
123.84 -> but the printhead cannot work. Okay.
After we checked the motherboard, now,
129.92 -> let's took a look at your printhead. You can
see there're burnt marks on the flex cable.
139.12 -> Look at the printhead. We can see the pin
is already burned. It's burned inside out.
145.52 -> Once the printhead is burned, there's
almost no chance that you're going
150.64 -> to be able to fix that printhead anymore.
If you come here to see how I fix burnt printhead,
158.32 -> you're in the wrong place. Once it's burned,
it's burned. I can't help you too much. Go to
165.52 -> Google and search for the word "printhead Jesus."
He may be able to help you out. We're going to
172.48 -> keep the motherboard, and we're going to switch
to a new printhead. For the cable, you can go
178.56 -> to bchtechnologies.com and go to printer parts.
You can pick up some Epson's FFC cable there.
190.88 -> Let me show you a way that you can reuse this
cable without buying a new one. This cable
198.64 -> is burned all the way through. I will peel the
blue tape in the back. You don't have to use the
207.04 -> blue tape and use a piece of duct tape instead.
Now, you can see how badly the cable is burned.
217.92 -> I'll take a pair of scissors
and cut off the burnt part.
224.24 -> Now we glue the blue tape to the
back of the cable. However, again,
229.28 -> you don't have to use this blue tape. You can
use regular duct tape to do the same thing.
241.12 -> Now, we wrap some paper around it
and put on a clam, and let it dry.
252.64 -> After dried, I find the easiest way is to use a
file to get it started. Once you see the metal is
260.16 -> exposed, switch to a sharp razor blade,
and start picking. To the final finish,
269.92 -> you can use very fine sandpaper, like 400
to 800 grit. There are two cables together.
280.64 -> There should be a gap in-between the two cables.
Don't worry if you see a gap in the middle.
287.84 -> Now, I can install a new printhead and see
if it works. Okay. Ready or not. There we go.
302.8 -> Come on. There we go. How's that? No
errors. I hope you enjoy this video.
310.08 -> Visit us at www.bchtechnologies.com or
locally at Greensboro, North Carolina. Cheers.
