Hiya,
Should I create a Frankenstein MP830?
I've got an MP830 that's had an 6A00 error for the last few weeks. I've tried using Windex on the bits I can get to without disassembling it, but
I can't see an easy way to get at the bits some people here are taling about. Do I need to partially/totally disassemble the thing or am I missing something? Pointers to photos/Guide/Service Manual would be much appreciated.
Anyway, in my frustration, I managed to find a cheap used MP830 on Ebay. It prints perfectly, however, the scanner doesn't work. From the messages it's spitting out, it sounds like the lamp has gone.
So..... Is there anyway someone can suggest to either replace the lamp, or take the whole scanner etc off the A600 affected MP830 and put it on the one that prints?
Alternatively, Can I somehow just use the scanning component of the one with the A600 error by bypassing the error somehow?
Cheers,
Pablo
