Hi all!
I'm restoring an original StyleWriter V1.
Using original power supply and a BC-01 cartdrige, after first turn-on, I've tried the 2 auto-test modes: (form-feed+power-on and ready+form-feed+power-on) but it behaves strangely, lot of noise, error light and so on.....
I've opened it, I've soon discovered leaked capacitors and corrosion.
So I've cleaned the main board, fixed corrosion, recapped it, oiled mechanics etc.
Unfortunatly both autotest modes still fail as shown in the video.
I've also tried to print from a PB190cs, after installed appropriate drives, seems that PB and the SW comunicate but no printing, just crazy behaviour with paper back and forth and so on.
I would concentrate in fixing the autotest first, any ideas about what could be causes, 99% is main board, but what?
Thanks a lot
