Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the error persists after startup, the logic board is unable to communicate internally, requiring a power drain to clear memory blocks.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power cycle: Unplug the printer for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Disconnect: Remove all USB and network cables.
  3. Restart: Boot the unit as a standalone machine to see if the error clears.
  4. Verification: Reconnect external cables only if the system completes the boot process.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Using a surge-protected power supply is highly recommended, as electrical fluctuations are the most common cause of logic board instability.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the power cycle doesn't resolve the code, the motherboard or internal controller likely needs professional repair or replacement.
