# Speculative the Logicboard is actually OK & that there is some kind of Firmware / Hardware Lock activated. Unable to Trip the Win7 Device Manager with the USB Port, I am out of options. It is possible a Epson Tech could reset or flash the firmware although I don’t know how if the USB Port wont show up in Win7 Device Manager.
+# All other parts, boards, plugs & printheads on the printer are probobaly good. Logicboard is locked out.
