They said two things could be wrong 1 ram is no good and 2 something about a pin configuration jumper for the pin 3 was missing. I would assume its exactly the same thing you show here. Its the jumper, I attached a photo for them and they confirmed that as well. I spoke with the seller in email exchanges they are allowing me to return the ram using a pre paid label.

If they are a reputable seller, they should stand behind the RAM they told you would work (assuming a mistake was not made in selection). I am unsure what all orange lights means for that particular model, but you definitely should not have to solder RAM that was spec'd to work out of the box. If the seller will not replace and you do end up soldering, let us know if you have questions. Best of luck! Sorry to hear that the memory isn’t working out well.

I purchased 2 16mb 70ns fast page 72p SIMM, the website I got it from made me select from menus in terms of the printer make and model. After installing the memory and turning the printer on I get nothing but the orange lights. What I dont understand is that if this memory was specifically for this printer, do I still need to do this soldering with the pins, which I dont have a clue of how to do?

Unplugged the P.O.S SMC Business Class Gateway. Plugged in the motorola SB 6121 it went through about 5 minute bootup and restart. Clicked on internet explorer, the xfinity (comcast) screen popped up. It asked for the account number and the phone number, took 10 minutes for the activation and it was all up and running. I was then able to forward ports to other externel computers with my D-link $35.00 wireless router. Very easy! Once you remove the SMC gateway, Port forwarding is easy.

Sure enough it did not work just gave a 53.00.02 fault. By adding the correct links all now fine, printer recognises memory and works a treat. Thanks again. Mark. Hi Dennis

The only device that Comcast is able to provision multiple public IP addresses to is their own gateway.

For some reason, I have noted here that only 70 ns or SLOWER RAM will work for the LaserJet; 60 ns is going to be 10 ns FASTER than 70 ns and that may be a problem. 2) Assuming the 60 ns stuff will work though, the next step is that you need to measure for continuity on pin 72 to any of the other pins 67-70. If you do find continuity there already, you may already have presence detect RAM; stick it in the printer and see if it works. 3) The "2/32 MB 70 ns" refers to the type and quantity of chips on the stick of RAM that you have. Figuring this out can sometimes be accomplished by looking for coding and typing in the model number printed on the RAM stick, searching Google for the specs. Then follow the chart accordingly. If you are not able to find you particular RAM listed online (I could not find mine, for instance), you may have to play a game of testing each possibility given in the jumper chart. If the printer does not recognize the RAM or show the full amount you have upgraded with, that is not the correct jumper setting. I know I had to do a little experimentation with mine to narrow down what memory chips I was working with. Best of luck! -Dennis Hi Greg,
