Hi guys.

Last month did an exhaustive cleaning of my 1430 head, but after that I left some cleaning solution on the flex connector and during the ink charge a short circuit occured, so the printer doesnt recognize the cartridges anymore.

I checked the flex cable and had a little burnt but it had no serious damage (tested with a multimeter), so I changed the head and nothing happened. I changed the cartridge contact board and nothing. I changed the main board and the cartridges were recognized!

So, something blow in the mainboard, what do you think it was? F1 fussible?

All your help will be appreciated. I want to get this mainboard working again. Thanks!
