Looks like alot of those printers would be more expensive to repair than replace. |

One little critter can do alot of damage. Looks like alot of those printers would be more expensive to repair than replace. I've seen some nasty damage caused by critters. During a mouse plague we had countless printers and computers come in with mice damage. The usual damage was crap and **** over circuit boards. Usually a clean would get them working again. Occasionally we'd replace mainboards, video cards etc - generally pretty easy money. The worst one though was a custom computer that was used as a controller for a grain mill. This was a customised machine that couldn't be replaced as the source had gone out of business. To replace it would pretty much require the company replace their entire mill - apparently running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. I repaired it once because of mice damage - because it couldn't easily be replaced, I had to fix a few PCB tracks, so a bit more involved than the typical repair. I should add that they brought me the circuit board - I didn't repair it in-situ because it was an integral part of this mill. They got it back, and rang me about a week later saying it wasn't working - could I come out and look at it in-situ because possibly I hadn't fixed it properly. I went out onsite, and first thing I noticed some gauze had been gaffa taped over the vents. They identified that these were where the mice had got in previously so blocked them so mice couldn't get in. Great idea. Opened it up and immediately the source of the problem was clear. They had blocked the vents, but unfortunately about 2 dozen mice were already in the machine. Some of them had died and had started decomposing. With nowhere to go and nothing to eat except insulation, components, and each other, they had made a hell of a mess of the inside of this computer. Repairing it became a long, tedious and smelly job. Had to re-engineer parts of it that were badly damaged. It was horrible, long after it had been cleaned you'd hit a solder joint and the horrible acrid smell of burning mouse bits would fill your nose. Eventually I got there with it. The excercise was very expensive though, so ultimately encouraged them to upgrade their equipment to something that would be more serviceable. |
