WC 7855 stuck at energy star screen with code 5 on the pwb

[Geertjen]

Hi,

My 7855 is stuck on energy star screen with code 5 on the lcd. I’ve tried Altboot with usb on front and back, but nothing happens (usb maybe disabled?)..

What could be the cause and what would be the solution?

Regards
Geert

Hi,

It could be a defective SD card or even the SBC PWB. If you have another known working WC7855 you can try to clone the image of the SD card, otherwise you must buy a new SD card ( part no. 237E27210).

Replacing the SD card with a new image and then altboot did the trick. millions thanks

Hello,

I have the same problem with my Xerox WC 7835.

I have tried to altboot with new firmware but the machine stays on the energy star screen whatever I do.

The machine was working perfectly until I went away for a week. I Powered the machine down before I left and when I returned and powered on it would not move beyond the energy star screen ("Powering up...do not switch off while power up in progress...)

I would like to try with a new SD card but cannot find a source to purchase the card from xerox or a card image to create my own. I have also tried with a new HDD (actually SSD) with no success. I am trying the altboot method with a USB stick (Tried 2 USBs and both front and rear ports)

Oh and I also replaced the button battery on the board...no difference.

The last configuration report before it died tells me the software version was: 073.010.075.34540
It also says "Machine Upgrades: Not Allowed"

The sd card has this info printed on it:  237E26275 V34540(SL)

This is my only copier so I cannot make a card image from another machine.

Why do xerox not make these available for download???

If anyone has any useful info or can supply a suitable card image I would be most thankful as currently I am the proud owner of a very expensive brick!

Many Thanks,

Phil
