    KONICA MINLTA C250P (laser) all prints have unwanted vertical CMYK lines

    Hello I'm a rookie tinkerer hopping to find some knowledge about these big color laser printers and copiers.

    The specific model I would like to fix.
    KONICA MINOLTA C250P this is the printer only version of the full office photo copier. I have a one of the full office copier version for part too (that one gives an error for the yellow laser).

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/cwVu2KYB6Yva5Ais6

    I'm adding a link above to a picture of print out form the C250P with visible vertical lines of CYAN YELLOW and MAGENTA mostly on the right side of the 11x17 print.

    I have very little experience with laser copy machines/ printers but I did take a look at the basics, like the long stick with felt at the end to clean the laser window, and the sticks you pull in and out of the image drums to clean them.

    I took a look at the transfer belt and it did not look damaged and the same lines were on the transfer belt along with the image.

    I have NEW in the box original konica minolta image drums and toner. I suspect the image drums might be the problem, likely the wiper blade in the roller maybe has a split or many splits? on each different color allowing a lines of toner to remain in the image roller after it has been wiped.

    I'm unsure about how to proceed also because the is a mess of color toner everywhere where the toner cartridges and image drums go. I imagine that's from regular use or from the printer being moved over the years. I haven't tried to clean it out with knowing how to do it.

    I'll patiently wait for advice on how to proceed from more knowledgeable users. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

      I've*been doing more test prints and the various PURE cyan magenta and yellow vertical lines seem to be random not appearing in the same place and interestingly cover the entire length of the paper, while some faint (mixed with subject color) lines only appear where there is an image. So I no longer think it's a wiping blade issue on the image drums.

          Hi Drum unit may be scratched or the charge rollers could be damaged. have you checked the cleaning blade on the IT belt perhaps?

              TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
              by howardc64
              All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
              • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
              • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

              Screen Display Vertical Multicolor Lines
              by Stanley1843
              Hello, I have a screen in where sometimes when I open it pop-up vertical multicolor lines (I would say the most of them are green). If I tun off and turn on the screen the lines dissapear or if I leave open the screen after approximately five minutes the lines gone. I measured the below voltages on the main PCB and on the T-CON board and the voltages are the same when it doesn’t display the vertical lines and when it displays the vertical lines. Also, I cleaned all the connectors very good with IPA. I moved back and forth the connectors and the COF tabs but the vertical lines didn't displayed...

              Samsung QN50Q60t lines on screen
              by jeyoung12
              Hi all
              I have lines on the screen...which is an age old problem that can be remedied by watching Youtube videos and getting out the tape.
              My issue (after successfully fixing a different sammy tv with a separate tcon board and isolating the side of the panel...):

              This tv has an integrated tcon...so it is a bit more confusing when trying to isolate the clocks.
              It has a c ribbon and i have taken each end out to see if that will isolate the lines. instead, it makes it much worse ALL over the tv!

              So....i don't know what end of the C ribbon to work with...

              Samsung QE50Q67TAU - horizontal lines
              by Rubenlily
              Hello,

              First of all I'm new here. While looking I found this amazing forum and I'm very happy I did. Now for my problem:

              I picked up a Samsung UHD QLED QE50Q67TAU from 2021 for $50 knowing it was defective. The seller said it had black lines and that it could get stuck in boot randomly.

              I've tried a new power cable, hard reset, opening up and jiggling all cables, pressing everywhere to see if I get a reaction but I've gotten nothing. I've tried the tape method but I've only managed to get the lines worse.

              I'm no expert but I've done the tape...

              Hilti PD30 Laser Range meter Error 276
              by Dannyx
              Good day folks.....wow, seems like forever since I posted anything here Still alive and well, thank you I guess you could say I've become more independent and able to work stuff out on my own. This one though goes way over my head and I doubt is fixable, but maybe some bright spark out there has an equally bright idea.

              So: my Hilti PD30 laser meter quit on me just the other day. It was working fine, I set it down for a while and when I tried using it again it gave me an E276 and wouldn't do anything else. I tried taking out the batteries, all that standard stuff but nothing...
