Answer:

Thank you for contacting us at BCH Technologies. We are grateful for your engagement and support, particularly with our YouTube channel, BCH Technologies on YouTube. Your feedback plays a crucial role in further developing our technical expertise.

To address your question about identifying a faulty fuse on the Epson ET 3750 motherboard, it’s important to note that Epson typically uses "R" to denote resistors. The fuse you are looking for usually starts with the letter "F." In the attached photo, I have circled the correct fuse in yellow.

You can replace the faulty fuse with one from the following link: Epson Mainboard Fuse Replacement [https://bchtechnologies.com/f1-fuse-also-f2-f3-for-epson-mainboard-fix-error-0x9a-or-031006-on-wf-7720-wf-7710-wf-3640-wf-3620-wf-8510-et-8550-xp-15000/].

Detailed Steps for Replacing the Fuse:

1. Safety First: Ensure the printer is turned off and unplugged from the power source to avoid any electrical hazards.
2. Locate the Faulty Fuse: On the motherboard, locate the fuse that starts with "F." This is typically labeled clearly and should match the one circled in the photo.
3. Remove the Faulty Fuse:
   • Use a small, precise tool like tweezers to gently remove the faulty fuse from the motherboard.
   • Be careful not to damage any surrounding components.
   • If not sure, check out the videos on this page: 
4. Install the New Fuse:
   • Take the replacement fuse from the link provided.
   • Carefully place the new fuse in the same position as the old one.
   • Ensure it is seated correctly and securely.
5. Test the Printer:
   • After replacing the fuse, reassemble the printer if necessary.
   • Plug it back in and turn it on to see if the error code is resolved.

Addressing printer issues can be a complicated affair due to the hands-on nature of the problems. So, we're not able to provide remote troubleshooting, suggestions, or support for printer repairs. We offer an in-person evaluation and repair service via our local diagnostic facility at BCH Technologies Printer Repair Service [https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service]. Given the high demand, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so it might take a few weeks before we can get your printer to drop it off or mail it to us. Our services are structured to repair either a whole printer or specific parts, with clear instructions on how to proceed if you opt for mail-in or local drop-off services. However, we acknowledge that our rates aren't the most economical. Thus, we highly recommend that you resort to self-help via online research. You can start by checking out YouTube or visiting our YouTube channel's homepage [https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies]. Look for specific videos using the search icon next to "About" on the right-hand side of the menu bar. I receive dozens of queries every day asking about videos for specific topics. Having created videos over the past nine years, it's challenging to remember every single one. Therefore, using YouTube's search function would be most efficient. Plus, YouTube might suggest relevant videos from other channels that could assist you.

Thank you again for reaching out. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us.
