LaserJetPro 200 Color m251nw

Hi there!

 

Our laser jet printer at work has not been functioning no matter what we do to try to fix it.  It displays "error code 59.co".  I've unplugged it from the power strip and plugged it directly into the wall outlet to no avail; I've removed all of the ink cartridges also to no avail.  At this point, it must be some kind of internal malfunction and something needs to be replaced.  The warranty for the printer expired in 2015.  What can we do to fix this issue?

 

Thank you!

I know it's late hope it'll help for the others.

 

It's caused by so called sticky solenoid which seat behind formatter, ADF......

Not so easy to get to it. You need to take out ADF,left,right,upper case.... first.

 

http://westhillprinters.blogspot.com/2011/12/sticky-solenoids.html

It controls black color and the other three colors (at the same time)to work with each other.

But because of sticky problem you got 59.C0 error.

 

What you need to do is to resolve the sticky solenoid issue.

Not an easy job to do but it's not so difficult either.

No need to really take apart everything before you to get to it .

 

What you really need to do is making a piece of V shape of paper its dimention maybe is 0.3 * 1.2 cm.

And find some ways to insert it into and between the solenoid's two metals to prevent the sticky issues happens again.

It will always has a small hole between gears and plastics. Find it out and insert the V shape paper into it.

After done that you will be fine.

 

Find it out where the solenoid is and there's no need to get it out from the machine you just need to find a way (or a hole, a gap) to try to insert a V-shape paper into between that two metals to keep them from stick together again. It always works.

 

You need a thin paper don't make it too thick!

Check here on youtube, not same models but same problems.

 

[edit]

Conjunto de 3 vídeos resolvendo o erro de alinhamento do mecanismo.
Important: 25min 40sec white gears position. Remove the brown sponge from the solenoid and glue there a thin plastic piece. CM4540 is very similar. UPDATE!!!: I found an other video about this issue which is much more simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE1YhZXxLp0 I haven't tried it in that ...
