Remove the formatter board screws and cabling.The P2015 and P2015 d series models have different wiring schemes due to the d model having a duplexer. DO NOT BUMP THE BOARD! You'll ruin it if the solder is molten!.I'm going to nix the heatgun entirely and just suggest a oven reflow.įirst, a video on removing the formatter board if you need visuals. When I wrote this, I said use a heatgun or oven. The problem is fixable, but only do this on a personal printer. The motor is solid state and shouldn't die this soon.

The fan may be plausible, but the engine error makes no sense. With the problems yours is having, it sounds like a partially trashed formatter board. This means the printer is having a fatal problem beyond a dead LAN port. This doesn't mean the whole P2015 is dead, but the LAN port will probably never work again. If I did this, I've warned the formatter board is bad and to be careful with the printer. If it's out of toner the light should stick. False toner errors that are fixed by removing and replacing the toner.Startup lockup problems(check for additional RAM with this one.I have seen a few errors that correspond with dead units. This is the easiest way to spot a dead P2015 formatter board. The easiest way to tell is if the errors are changing, random or incorrect. When these things have bad formatter boards, it isn't hard to tell. You can probably sell the used toners to Cartridge World or another store that rebuilds toner cartridges. Either that or the networking died and he/she uses it locally anyway so it doesn't matter. Someone probably has one that didn't go belly up this way. If you do decide to bin this thing, sell the toner. The reliability of a new and refurbished formatter board are both terrible. Refurbished formatter boards are usually reflowed boards from dead P2015's, or ones from units that didn't die this way. Even if you found a new formatter board, it would die the same way anyway. If this doesn't work, just send this thing to a recycling facility and get a stable printer. If you really want to keep it alive you're better off reflowing the old board. Don't bother buying one for it, as it will fail the same way. This printer is known to have formatter board problems.
