I knew this would happen since I've been bashing the "i" series on this forum with all the issues they have .
Have a customer with a C450i and they want another one. A wholesaler I buy from in another state has a C550i with only 34K on the meter. After I ordered the wholesaler called and said when they went to check it out before shipping they could not get into the CE mode. They could get into the admin mode. After they tried all usual passwords it still didn't work. They ended up calling Kon/Min tech support and went through the password reset procedure. Now they can't get into CE or admin mode. Kon/Min was stumped and suggested new NVRAM. Not sure what they meant but said they held down a button while turning on to check boards? All showed good.
Machine copies fine and all functions are normal. Just can't get into Admin or CE mode
I would like to get this machine since it's a super low meter, plus the wholesaler said they would sell for half price!
Appreciate any help with this. Just don't want to end up with a brick used for parts!

Thanks in advance for the help.
Most likely the button they are talking about is holding down the power button on the control panel while flipping the main power switch, which forces the machine to boot into diagnostic mode.
Perhaps they spoke with one of the lesser trained phone techs? It doesn't sound like they bricked it since it still works fine. The CE (Service) password, I believe, can be reset the same way on the i-models as is done with many of the previous generation models. I'd probably confirm with Jotunn in THIS THREAD just to be sure though. If it's the same method, he can get you the code you need to reset the CE password. Once the CE password is reset, the admin password can then be changed from within CE mode.
Not sure what you are spending on it, but at half price for a machine that still seems to function normally, sans a few passwords, sounds like a pretty decent deal to me. Don't buy it based on my opinion alone though, see what others have to say as well.

My Ricoh knowledge is slowly dwindling away at this point. Many things have been lost to time...

Thanks for that info. After I went to the "thread" you suggested and read the posts something else came to mind that wholesaler was told by Kon/Min tech support and why I think they were stumped, they said the Mac address didn't match that machine. Think this is why password reset didn't work. Hope this helps figure it out. Oh yea they did say Kon/Min support also had manager involved and he could figure it out.

That is curious. I've seen a similar error (MAC mismatch) on a machine that we had to change the CPU board out on. The error only showed up when marketplace was enabled, but didn't seem to affect anything else. We always disable Marketplace anyway, so it wasn't a big deal to us. The machine has been out in the field working fine ever since.
Now that you mention it, that is a very good possibility the MAC was the issue since the MAC is part of the information needed to do the reset. Maybe it wouldn't be such a good deal after all.
I have to imagine that there is some way to get the MAC address in the CPU board and the BASE board to match after a board replacement, otherwise anybody that used marketplace would never be able to replace a bad board since marketplace would cease to function after the board replacement. Unfortunately anything to do with marketplace or the likes is beyond my scope, and I searched through the service manual and came up empty as far as the MAC address goes.

Thanks for checking manual. I also looked and didn't see anything. Does it make sense that Kon/Min suggested replacing the NVRAM?
Could it be someone has replaced the ssd with a used 1 from a doner machine and not followed the procedure properly
thus bringing the mac address from the doner machine with it ?

A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
