Troubleshooting
tips for printers with no (blank) display
HP 4100mfp printer series may present with what seems to be a bad
control panel, with limited print functionality.
To begin, you
want to rule out a dead printer by printing the engine test (hole
located under fan duct on printers left cover). If engine test is
good proceed as follows:
1)
Remove network card (if applicable)
2)
Remove Hard drive
a.Often with
the hard drive removed the printer will go ready but display:
"hard disk not found copy and send disabled"
3)
Remove memory dimm -J2
a.Normally with
the memory removed the printer will display: 53.10.03 error
4)
Remove any additional memory J3 and J4 (if applicable)
5)
Disconnect the cable from the ADF assembly to the scanner control
board
a.The printer
will work but not use of ADF assembly.
6)
Remove the copy processer board and the high speed copy connect
cable that is connected to the formatter.
a.Typically
with the SCB removed the printer will display: "check cables and
cycle power"
If the previous
process did not revive the display, replace components as follows:
Firmware •
Formatter • Control panel + connector PCB assembly • Firmware
C9168-67915 • Formatter C7844-69001 • Control panel RG5-6563 •
64mb memory Q7708-67951 • Connector PCB assembly RG5-6534 • Copy
processer board C8541-67901
