If the E-24B is turned ON and hanging on a diagnostic code, first perform the following actions to see if they fix the problem:

  1. Press the power switch to set to the OFF (0) position.
  2. Wait another 30 seconds.
  3. Turn ON the E-24B using the power switch.
  4. Wait approximately five minutes to see if the E-24B reaches Idle.
  5. If the problem persists, make sure that you have reseated internal cable connections and verified system components.
  6. If the problem persists, see the code/symptom and suggested actions in the following pages.

LED code: 00

Possible cause:

When the E-24B is Idle and in Operational mode, the LED display shows 00.

If the LED display shows 00, but the system is not functioning properly, one or more of the following may be the cause of the problem:

  • Faulty connection between the E-24B and the copier
  • Service switches are set to an incorrect mode
  • Incorrect Diagnostic LED board cable connection
  • Corrupted system software
  • Missing, faulty, or dead battery
  • Corrupted BIOS settings on the motherboard
  • Missing or faulty chassis fan
  • Faulty CPU and/or CPU cooling assembly
  • Faulty HDD or HDD connection
  • Faulty motherboard

Suggested action:

  1. Check and reseat all cable connections between the E-24B and copier.
  2. Make sure that the E-24B service switches are set to OFF (both away from ON).
  3. If the Controller date/time cannot be set or responds slowly, replace the battery on the motherboard [Link to Lithium Battery], and then update the date/time in E-24B Setup [Link to Running the E-24B Setup].
  4. Shut down and open the E-24B, and do the following:
    Reseat the power and data cables to the HDD. Make sure that the data cable is connected to the proper connector on the motherboard.
  5. Reinstall system software [Link to System Software Installation Procedure].If no airflow or fan noise is evident at the vent holes of the chassis where the chassis fan is located, replace the chassis fan [Link to Fans].
  6. Replace external cables, one at a time.
  7. Check and reseat the CPU cooling assembly.
  8. Replace the CPU cooling assembly [Link to CPU and Cooling Assembly].
  9. Replace the CPU [Link to CPU and Cooling Assembly].
  10. Replace the HDD data cable.
  11. Replace the HDD [Link to Hard Disk Drive (HDD)].
  12. Replace the motherboard [Link to Motherboard].
