PC kit.
Unplug the printer, and check the cable
continuity between the LVPS/HVPS connector
marked OPC and the corresponding wire form
(spring) found about 14 mm above and to the
right of the transfer roll gear.
If there is not continuity, call the next level of
service.
Try a different toner cartridge and PC kit.
If those fail, replace the LVPS/HVPS.
