I got a 5011 error out of the blue. The error appears a few seconds after I power it on, the carriage doesn't move, sometimes it tries to move right before the error appears.
I have had it running normally 2-3 times, when it starts up normally it's nothing wrong, no strange sounds.
There was quite a bit of ink in the area around the pads, I've cleaned this up.
The encoder (?) strip is clean as far as I can see.
I cleaned a metal plate facing forwards, the carriage moves along the plate, it was full of ink.
No paper jams.
Nothing loose that I can see or hear when I tilt the printer to all sides.
I've had it disconnected from power for days etc.
I'm planning to remove some panels to get a better look at things, but I really don't know what I'm supposed to look for.
