can anyone help with Mimaki JV2 leak please?
hi all,
I’m hoping someone has experienced this before as this is causing me many headaches.
Recently, my machine had a small ink leak that got onto a part of the mother board (connection to the LCD). I cleaned it up and everything worked fine for a day.
It now freezes on me and when i try to reboot i get various different error messages. 1 in particular i have no idea what it’s about as it is not in any of my manuals? "Illegal IPT 180"???
anyone know what this is? and more importantly, anyone know how to fix it??…
Thanks
Ed

- When you were cleaning, a bit of static discharge may have damaged/weakened the semiconductor components on the motherboard.
- That, or electrically conductive elements in the ink have created a short somewhere that is creating crazy logic.
- I would lean towards the first point because you were able to get the machine to work for a little while, which suggests that semiconductor components were weakened by static discharge, which has caused the components to fail through regular usage.
- Regardless, get your Mimaki dealer to send out a technician and inspect/replace the board.

Thanks Rod,
do you know where i can find a replacement board?
don’t want to go through my dealer, as i believe their prices are too high…
Thanks

- Hmm, explain to dealer what happened, ask if common situation for ink to spill on the electronics, and what is the procedure for resolving something like this.
- I will trust that the dealer is interested in providing strong after-sales service and support.

well, in my experience thus far, i would argue the contrary… i have had my experiences with them and they are not 100% pleasant…
my dealer told me my only option was to get a new motherboard… and then he quoted me the price… just seemed kinda high considering they tried to sell me another old machinery "to use as spare parts" for a rather high (and unfair) price imo…
and besides, it’s always nice to find alternative sources for support – i feel that it keeps everyone honest! :lol1: 😉
