OKI C5150n Led Printer

Void streaks in magenta and cyan areas only 2" wide...

posted by venture717 on Jul 04, 2008


One day, my Oki c5150n began printing void streaks on side of the page but only within the cyan and magenta color areas. I swapped the magenta drum/toner with a new one and still the void streaks remained. There is no error code. I infer an electronic issue but not the 32K base memory since I assume there would be an error code for a memory failure. So, could there be an LED driver chip failure that is affecting 2 colors for a couple of inches on 1 side of the page?
If it is an electronics failure, is it advisable to repair? I like this printer and it has only about 25K sheets on it. Are replacement boards or parts available? Suggestions? Thank you!
