HP C6180 All in one printer - Power Cycling loop

[Dgtech]

This is a printer from a friend of mine. It was one of those deals where you say, " yeah, what the hell, I'll take a look at it" not really expecting to find anything.

The problem - it was that it was cycling power all the time. Stuck in a loop.

So far I found one 330uF 10V TEAPO cap swollen. I will pull the rest and check them and post the result plus pictures when I am done.

The problem was that the screen would come up to the first picture, run a little, then blank out and start over again, and again, and again.

Well, that one bad cap was all it was. As you can see in the pics, it's working again. Suprisingly, this was not too bad to get to and replace.

Nice work, was it the only Teapo in this printer ?

No, there was another. I didnt check or change it cause I only had one good 330uF 16V cap.
