Honestly speaking, do you recommend fixing the printer? Is it very reliable? I tried calling sigmaprint.co.uk but they did not answer. The have no working links in their site and they might be out of business?

I believe sigmaprint is out of business....but Reprint still has a working webpage so they should be able to help you. I like those printers but they are very old and the boards can cause intermittent problems.

Thanks! Do you happen to have copy of the manuals? or any documentation at all to do what you just explained for doing the system reset.

If you ever have the acrylic LCD part with keypad and willing to sell it let me know.

I tried to send you a direct message to ask for your email but I don't know if it went through.

These machines are known for this. Keep reseating the chip on the display board. The mylar display looks pretty bad and may need replaced.

I spend several hours resetting both chips and no luck. I have a question: The lcd not displaying could be the main controller board? Does anyone sell parts for this machine ?

Make sure the pins on the chip on the main display are not bent or tarnished...i have scraped the bottom of the legs before. I would try Reprint in UK. I think they still have parts.

Do you recommend soldering the chip to the available smd surface pad? Did you mean https://www.sigmaprint.co.uk/? Thanks

The mylar is just the keyboard and has its own connector. All the keys seems to work well (the lcd pcb has some leds and they blink when I push each key). The lcd is soldered on the display board.
