Chosen Solution
Hello everybody, I have a printer Epson WF-2510 which didn’t work because needed head print cleaning. I did this process two times and after the first hadn’t solved the problem completely because the device still printed out not well. So I did the cleaning again and assembled it for the second time I turned on and I gave to print out the nozzle sheet and it started the head cleaning but after about one minute it turned off by itself and never went on again. I think something caused a short somewhere but I am a beginner so I am asking if someone could help me to solve this issue. It would be very appreciated. Many thanks!
On the Epson printers made since 2010, the power supplies are all contained in a module - it’s unlikely that your power supply is damaged. I would look at the wiring and see if you did that correctly, if you took the printer apart to the printhead. Most do not because you will destroy it unless you know how to do it. If you did, check the wiring to that and everything else you removed. If that’s all good, check out the mainboard. It’s unlikely the solution got here but this board isn’t protected. This will require a fair amount of diassembly. If you continue having problems after checking the mainboard and power supply, the printer is dead. It won’t make sense to repair it, so find a replacement that can use your old ink carts if possible.
Fabri, I experience your same behavieur after disassembling the printing head for cleaning… I’ve been able to dig little bit more into the issue and taking out the main board I found two power TO22 BJT transistors in short. Replacing those with same identical spare parts didn’t solve the issue and apparently the repair sneed more work that is not wort it except that I got the printer for a client wich was failing in printing Black and now is just a piece of junk. I’ll take my time to figure out what it is but now I need to buy another prnter for the client. Very sad story.
