  • PC60 failure, all lights flashing – advice please?

    Posted by James Whitaker on 9 March 2010 at 20:31

    Hi Everyone
    Had a major problem today! my pc60 suddenly decided to stop working
    All lights lit up and flashed – 5 times – then goes to CART2and PICE/ROLL
    Only – solid light – then back to flashing all again. Nothing moves!!
    Rang Roland who said they’d ring back in next ten hours! Problem being i’ve 2 rally cars and 2 containers to sticker up for end of week.
    any knowledge of this probelm would be greatly received.
    I’m thinking its a new cutter/printer!!!! Hoping its not just yet,

    many thanks
    james

Manul states this but has no solution. ooks like i’ll be waiting forever for rloand to be bothered to reply with advice. Guess they’ll tell me its had its day!!

    as you say mentioned but no fix (eeprom) =NG
    remove front lower cover and see if its full of fluf dirt if so give it a good blow out.

    only thing i would do is ring KERRY spelling at camtec swansea, he was the engineer at rolands when pc60s were in there hay day.

    ah, sorry. Didn’t mean Forum people. It was a reference to Roland ands several other companies who just haven’t got back to me! Asked them several times but totally not interested!

    Chris has supplied me with a few names which i am now following up.

    realise this sounded wrong!! apologies.

    James, Roland don’t really want to know about the pc60 as they stopped supporting it a while a go.

    I’ve still got my pc60 here, needs a new head but otherwise its perfect, the running costs of the pc60 pretty much forced me to buy an inkjet, I bought a roland versacamm, been a brilliant bit of kit.
