Printer was running great, did a head clean and then just shut itself off. No power. The level light and counter are stil working, just no powere to the machine - not other lights lit.

No other issues except it started to run slow printing after about 10 prints.

Mainboard?

I was too tired last night to check anything. Power just went out after a normal head clean with the button. I have learned after all these years to never clean with a syringe and cleaning solution. I just use cleaning carts and will suck up solution with a syringe.

Ususally when I have had this type of problem it is after cleaning or messing with the machine, but this time it just happened out of the blue

This is normally caused by a burnt printhead ribbon cable. Check your printhead and the ribbon connector for burn marks.

Thanks for your suggestions guys

Found out it was the power board fuse - blown, replaced it and started back up, but I know the blown fuse usually means another problem. Noticed that I had forgotten to put the square metal guard back on .( the one that shields the splatter from the capping station area.) Ink got on the connectors that lead to the powere and ink buttons.

Should I just replace that whole unit, can I repair or fix them ? Any suggestions?

I did put another fuse in the powere board, and it printed fine for about 2 days, but now i get a bunch of flashing lights
