Soooooooooo,
i did manage to get the apple working again!
i found an evil streak of paper at the most unreal place...and got angry
because i could
have seen it before =:->>
After that i was half way there!
found an output tray selector that really suffers (a loose piece of plastic
crap), cleaned
some felt, some ∗should be clear∗ plastic and tried to cover AND clean the
drum in the dark
(yes, this one is really "open for exposal" at the top side of the cartridge
if taken out of the printer,
can't believe i overlooked that since i have it...) while working at the
inner life of an appleLW...
so the drum had enough time to retire from yesternights tortures.
OK, looking at the first ∗dry∗ printout it's not THAT black at the printed
groundplane of my doublesided pcb design, but i
think the bottom side would be fairly useable...it will retire a little bit
more forsure...
Can't believe i wasted so much toner and paper...d'oh!°
:-)
my bank account says : Thank you!
Let's keep us beeing informed about our further silicone experiments, i will
do some by myself now!
Kind regards
Martin
