[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 819124, member: 176362"] Possibly not irreparable Theres a similar problem with the formatter boards of certain HP network laser printers. (Mainly 2015dn's) The joints go dry under one of the complicated units on the board thanks to poor quality solder. The fix is to bake it in the over for 10 minutes or so! If you google [b]baking hp formatter boards[/b] or [b]hp 2015 formatter board problems[/b] you will find the temperatures and times - numerous folks have reported success. The secret is to get it warm enough to reflow the solder but not so hot you do any damage. I saw it done at work this summer & it fixed the failed 2015. :D YMMV of course - you wouldnt want to try this if is got low temperature plastic components on the board. [/QUOTE]
