Title: Printer head up error on s2000
Post by: armyaviation on May 14, 2024, 07:29:23 PM
this came out of a s2000 that had a coin jammed behind the backplane.  board has been fixed but got a printer head up error, swapped cables and remained, swapped new printer and the new one works in the cab so its not the cab.  This one also had a frayed ribbon cable and may have been disconnected while power was on.  Any suggestions, and fixes?

Swap the ribbon cable to test?
If it works, then you just need a ribbon cable.

That’s what I was trying to explain above, i swapped the cable and the actual printer in different times,  the cable that in there now works with one and not the other

okay...you're saying the ribbon cable works in one printer, but the cable doesn't work in the other printer.
That means something happened to the "other" problem printer.
The next move would be to take off the printer paper holder plate and see if anything is burned out on the circuit board inside.
There's a lot involved in trying to repair circuit boards.... have you ever taken one apart?
I don't know if you're capable of doing that.
Also, I really don't know anyone that knows anything about Futurelogic circuit boards.
Member Lookes is good at MPU circuit board repairs, but I don't know if he knows anything about these particular ones.
I would get a hold of him and ask him about it.

or

just go buy another printer.
These Futurelogic PSA models are so old...probably can get them cheap.

Already talked to John about it.  Circuit board looks normal.  Guess it’s going in the trash
