I need a service manual for the canon ip3000 or how to open it up and get inside a it don't work. have checked power supply. a good 9volts. but printer has no life in it.

As with most modern electronics, your unit has a 'switched-mode' power supply and most are built well enough to outlast the warranty.
They are very efficient but the kind of service some parts (especially electrolytic capacitors) are subjected to adverse conditions.

If you want to try a DIY analysis, remove the housing from your unit and locate the power supply; if it is modular, you may have to open a second case (much smaller).
Power supplies are easy to identify since they are clearly a different animal than found on the main boards, being made up of coils and larger semiconductors than the other functions.

If you gain access, look for cylindrical components mounted perpendicular to the circuit board with a plastic foil jacket and an exposed aluminum top, there may be a lot of different sizes but these are the most likely failures.
Since they can burst when failing, the aluminum is scored in a 'Y' pattern to enable a more gentle bursting.

Check them closely and look for domed (bulging) tops. These are close to dying and typically no longer able to function as designed.

They vary in quality so replacements can be better (longer-lived) or worse.

Most techs will know which replacements are best and the cost difference is low and negligible.

Good luck-

Hi Rebekah, this site will help you:www.retrevo.com/support/canon-iP3000.select: get the manual, select: table of contents, all details are there, select print head cleaning. You can download the manual for further need. good luck.

check your power cable, this like the problem come from your printer power supply section

Remove the print head and try powering it up. If it powers up, then your print head is shorted and will need cleaning or replacing.

Try removing your printer cartridges and then the print head from the printer. If the printer powers up with the print head removed, then the print head is either shorted or clogged. If it's shorted out then you will need a new print head (usually cheaper to just buy a new printer). If you can clean the print head without damaging it, sometimes it will work again. Usaully a good 24 hour soak in alcohol or a cleaning solution will work.

Check the wall outlet.Plug something else and see working.Unplug the printer from power cord and wait 30 min.Then plug it.If not working there is a problem in power supply in printer.Look for service in your area.

i have the same problem using nero cover designer
it's very slow quality is ok but at 1/4 of the page it gives me the error message....

PAT

If the 6 flashes are accompanied by an on screen message #5400, this is a "Service Call Error" code.

This code indicates the following;
Internal temperature error [5400]
The solution to this is the following part replacementl
- Logic board ***'y (QM2-1548) *1

*1: Before replacement of the logic board ***'y, check the waste ink amount (by service test print or EEPROM information print). If the waste ink amount is 7% or
more, also replace the bottom case unit (QM2-1205) or the ink absorbers (QC1-4222 / 4223 / 4224 / 4263 / 4264 / 4864 / 4221 / 4257) when replacing the
logic board ***'y.
[See Section 3-3. Adjustment / Settings, (6) Service mode, for details.]

Good luck!!!

Hello,

You can search on internet for service manual, in order to find how you can open the printer and fix the issue.

I've just checked mine as it suddenly stopped working - does not even light up the green button.

I'm getting 8 volts Red to Black and 23 volts Red to Yellow so I guess it's fubared?
