I'd like to thank
Lynden Garrett, Colin, Steve Face, Len Sigurdson,
K. Karl Kuller, Jose E. Dominguez, david jarrett,
Susan Sutherland, Carlos Diaz, Larry Peterson, and
Erik Hundrieser for suggestions/info/diagrams/etc.
I know of no info source other than PCBUILD where this
type of helpful response is possible.

I don't really know what I'm doing, here. Never
stopped me before ...  :-)

The fixing (fuser) roller has little wrinkles on
its surface. I couldn't figger out how to remove
the fuser assembly, but I think I managed the
continuity test OK (less than 1 ohm resistance).

The little breaker button does not require
resetting.

The printer hasn't been powered for days. I turn
it on, the fan runs fine (AC power is OK?). It
takes over a minute for the self-test, then
flashes the "50 Service" message. I open it up
fast and find the fuser roller to be stone cold.

Continuity test is OK but the roller won't heat.
Does this sound like a bad "DC Controller"?

Anybody remember how to get the fuser assembly
out??

  Much thanks to all,
  David
