No Power In HP Laserjet 3030 Repaired

By Jestine Yong on April 28, 2015

My customer sent to me his HP LaserJet 3030 printer which won’t startup (no power). When I asked what caused the problem, he told me there was some problem in the AC network in his area and other devices died too. I decided to take the repairing job and try to bring the printer back to life.

After I checked the printer and disassembled it I started to test the components.

This is the power board of the printer:

First I checked the fuse which was not blown. Then I moved forward to visual check but no symptoms to any bulged caps or burning. So I decided to check the main parts in the primary circuit, I moved to the bridge rectifier and checked with my ohmmeter if it is shorted but not. ESR meter checked on the main capacitor also found to be good (you need to discharge the main capacitor first before checking it with meter). I powered up the power supply and checked on the main capacitor and got around 320Vdc which was good. So I moved forward to the power driver IC which is a STR-Z2062. I can’t find any datasheet on the internet and I desoldered the IC and checked for shorted legs. I found 6 shorted legs.

STR-Z2062 power driver IC (if somebody have this IC datasheet, it would be great to share it out)

I mean in the IC there was short circuit and I guess the IC was shorted due to the impact of a spikes on the AC network . There were no other bad components in the power primary side. This IC direct drives the transformer primary coil and so supply the unit with a voltage of the secondary coil 2x 150v and 2x36v but there must be a load on the secondary circuit. Without any load on the secondary circuit the power driver IC won’t drive the transformer.

I got a used working IC from a friend from another HP printer (not the same type of printer) and after fixing it and powered On, the printer came back to life again. I used the printer and the scanner for 3 days in my office without any problems. I told my customer about it and he was very happy. It took me about an hour to complete the repair job.

There isn't this datasheet.
This chip is from Sanken - Japan.

Sir, Thanks for sharing your experiance please can you share with us what type of load you have connected on the secondary circuit.

  Yogesh:
  I connected back the board to the printer and that was my load.
  Of course I double checked for any type of schortens or so because a mistake could damage the other part of the printer.
  If I disconnected the board from the other connectors of the printer and try to power on the power board there was no voltage output on the secondary side of the transformer.

I found the datasheet for you, it is a PDF with data about a range
of familiar IC's which work the same.

Find it here :

Hey Chris,
Thanks for sharing your repair.
Sometimes the only diagnostic path is once you have eliminated any working components, then the faulty one is the one that remains. It is a tough call on ICs, especially when you have no datasheet.
Well done.

I find it rather strange that this IC was shorted out in six pins yet the fuse remained intact.

It was strange to me too, 6 pins was shorted but the main fuse was not blow up.At that time I had no datasheet and I can't do I deeper forensic, just analyzing and separate good parts from bad parts. I found no other parts shorten or out of its tolerance range in the whole circuit where that "nice" IC was and I decide to replace the IC and BINGO! the printer was alive again.
Maybe I had a lucky day, I don't know, but the printer is working after the repair... 🙂

Hi!
I came to this webpage searching for a way to fix the HP LJ 3030 I've got for free. The person who gave it to me told me that the printer doesn't work at all. I tried to see what's wrong with the printer. It could be turned on but after powering up the display told me to power on power off, the solution to fix this was the one I found on the net- cleaning the mirrors of the scanner.
The problem I cannot fix is that the print comes out as blank page. I assume the drum is not charged since it is not loaded with toner at all. I checked the status of the big capacitors but they seem to be OK.
I'm suspecting Q337 and the diode D371 (I tested the diode with a multimeter and it is not conducting at all) the same with the diode D351. Both diodes are marked with a continuous ring and a dashed one, text marked -08 (or 80-). Could anyone tell me what type is the diode?
and the transistor (equivalent component)?
BTW, the cartidge is the same as the one in the CANON LBP2900B, and I think the power board should be similar.
