The heads were clogged and were not printing red at all even though i had more than half a tank of ink.
I have cleaned the head, first with isopropilic alcohol (didn.t do much) then with water and cleaned till water spewed clean out the nozzles. Put the head back. Printer turned on. Did it.s thing (head alignment back to docking position i guess). Turned itself off. Pressed the power button. Power led blinked once and nothing. dead.
Dissasemled the damn thing. Realised (seeing videos on yt) that the main transistors were burned. C6144 snd A2222 are the culprits. Bought new ones. Put them back. Pressed the power button. Led blinked once. Dead.
So. I assume that something is burning the transistors. (Maybe they are receiveng more voltage than they can take i guess !?).
What do you guys think?
Thanks.
