F1 Fuse (also F2, F3...) for Epson Mainboard - Fix Error 0x9A or 031006 on WF-7720, WF-7710, WF-3640, ET-8550, XP-15000...
$6.99
Too many to list. It can also be known as F2, F3, F301, F201, Fxxx.
If it's an "F", and looks tiny, it is this fuse. If you get 0x9A or 031006, you probably have a blown printhead and a burnt FFC cable as well.
Please be cautious as this component is incredibly tiny. We highly recommend that only trained professionals attempt any repairs. We have taken measures to show the size of this component through videos, photos, drawings, and this warning. Please do not be one of the individuals who knowingly purchase this item, only to later complain about the precision required for the repair. If you find yourself unable to perform the repair, we suggest reaching out to your neighbors to see if anyone is skilled in this area. If you are unable to find assistance from your neighbors, you can search for "Makers around me" on Google. You may discover that there are Makerspaces or individual makers nearby who are knowledgeable in soldering and may be able to assist you with the repair.
The package will arrive in a silver anti-static bag containing a small white envelope, and inside the envelope, you will find the fuse, which is even smaller.
If you have problems finding the F1 fuse on your Epson mainboard, you are not alone. First of all, let me emphasize that the F fuse doesn't control if a mainboard powers up or not. If your mainboard is not powering up, it is more likely caused by blown transistors. Check out this video about how to fix the transistor/MOSFET.
The two transistors can be seen below, and the replacement can be found here (click).
If your F fuse is blown, the printer will print. But the output is blank. Of course, if your printhead is clogged, it will have the same symptom. Therefore, you need to troubleshoot the printhead and use a multimeter to test if the fuse is blown. The printer usually have problem starting up. It will turn on (different from NOT turning on), but will only finish half of start up routine and display error 0x9A or 031006
Some models have the fuse marked as F1, F2, F3, so it's easy to find on the main board. For example:
F1 Fuse on CD86 MAIN for Epson ET-2650
Okay, here is where the fuse is. Hint: Epson doesn't call all of them F1 anymore.
It is F201 or F301 for some models.
F1 Fuse on CD77 MAIN for Epson WF-2750
F2, F3 Fuse on CD36 MAIN for Epson WF-7720 and WF-7710
(F1 is on the other side of this board)

BCH offers amazing quality products at very reasonable prices. I ordered the 4 ink 30ml kit and a larger black to refill my #62 HP cartridges. The videos are great and show how to easily refresh these wasteful cartridges and save a bunch of $. Thanks to Kevin and the team at BCH!

4-Color Dye Ink Refill for All Printers - INK ONLY BULK PACK

It was just what we needed. Thanks to your YouTube instruction I was able to order the part and fix my 83 yr old sister's printer. I am an 80 yr old female and was thrilled that this part fixed her printer and saved her some money since she did not have to buy a new printer. I have never before tried to fix something like this. Needless to say, I was surprised it work so well.

BCH Paper Feed Gear (PFG) for HP OfficeJet Pro 69xx Series - Fix 6958, 6968, 6970, 6975, 6978... "The print carriage cannot move"

After receiving the Grade A L1800 mainboard back from verification from BCH Tech and it still did not work on either of my computers (Win10 & Win11) as the same error was showing, I finally found a solution. I had to reinstall Windows (new install overtop of existing to keep all files and apps, but fixes any corrupted files) on both computers and not it is working properly. I apologize for the original negative review but rest assured it is not Kevin's fault. Thanks for you understanding and sorry for the original review.
