Hi there,
I have a LaserWriter IINTX that I'd love to resurrect. It's been in storage for 13 years. I know it didn't work when I first got my hands on it, but I don't remember what the symptoms were. Today it powers on and makes some noise. The green Power led flashes slowly for a while as it's starting up. The green led stays on for a second, then immediately the two right leds with paper and paper jam icons flash red. There's definitely a smell of something heating up, but I assume it's the normal smell of 20+ years old dried up toner powder.
What are my options? I know absolutely nothing about laser printers… I found a couple old references online talking about either a bad power supply, or a bad fuser bulb, whatever that is, or a scanning motor malfunction. The Service Source manual doesn't tell anything about the meaning of the leds.
Does anyone have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!
