Basically I arrived to a machine that would not come to ready and after 5 min or so would code SC670. After pulling the rear covers and reseating all the connectors I concluded I had lost power to the BICU, IOB, and PFB. The controller would turn on but none of the other boards would receive power. All fuses on the AC power board tested good. Per Ricoh tech support hotline we opened all covers and rebooted the machine, It came to ready. After closing the covers one by one I found the machine would code again after closing the main drawer.After checking all the wires I found the thermistor wire pinched on the fuser causing a short when the drawer was closed. I rerouted and everything is working great.Just wanted to pass along my findings for everyone.Thanks for the heads up on this one Mitch. My SC670 turned out to be a faulty AC Drive Board. The field techs spent a lot of time swapping controller , IOB, IPU etc following the theory that one board wasn't talking to another but got nowhere. Dragged the box back here to the workshop and I did some reading first and came up with your post which led me to check the power supply. Yep, one of the 5v rails was dead so some of the boards weren't communicating as they were never being turned on. Half an hour with the multimeter found that the AC Drive wasn't fully powering up the PSU ECO and PSU FW.The trick to this game is to read everything you can first but to start fault finding with an open mind. Be prepared to admit that you've gone down a blind ally and go back to square one and start again. Too often techs get one fixed idea in their head and spend hours even days trying to prove wilder and wilder theory's. One again thanks for pointing me in the right direction.I had a machine that was throwing SC670 on startup. A ribbon cable and multiple boards later the SC code still existed. The problem was narrowed down to connector CN203 on the Imaging IOB board, then further narrowed to the "ID Chip" PCB:TCB (Yellow). The PCB:TCB was swapped with another color (Cyan) but the problem remained with (Yellow). After ruling out a pinched/shorted wiring harness, I remembered there is small "chip" on the toner bottle. So we finally removed the toner bottle (Yellow) and the problem went away entirely. Put the bottle back in and it the SC670 came back. Swapped the bottle with a good one and problem solved. There happened to be some sort of defective "chip" on this particular toner bottle. Hope no one ever has this problem, but if you do maybe this will help.
