Can't get the pic, not a member there.

I did just do some price checking... the SRAM cards are... well to 
put it mildly... expensive! I wonder if you could use a compact flash 
card in a PCMCIA adapter to do the job, much cheaper and it 
would "never" fade away. It's been about 2 years since I've read up 
on the procedure for the firmware change and new main board 
installation, so my memory is a little foggy. I kind of remember that 
there are a lot more adjustments that need to be made after a board 
change. I think all the A-D converters need to be calibrated to the 
different mechanics.

If I had a 7000 I would suggest shipping the parts to me, but I 
don't. I could make a go at it, but wouldn't really know if it was 
fixed until sending it back.

One thing you might want to do is remove the capping station and 
pump. That way the motor doesn't have a load, so it shouldn't need to 
pull much current to spin. On the 9500 there is a motor check mode in 
one of the service menus, that way you can avoid spraying ink all 
over. I think that motor is one that can be turned on for checking.
