Text:

i’m a beginner electronics self taught kinda guy with a little electronics wizardry skills . i’m in a major rush and i don’t have the money to spend on repair tech right now .  i have both mfc 240c and 250c. i know there a slight difference in the two but cant i interchange the printer carriage from the 250c to the 240c?? they both look the same except the printer heads dont match and also from what i can tell one of the data ribbons are different. i wonder how i can make my the 250 work. also , can’t  i just do some surgery and swap them from the where tubes come out from the printer heads??  someone have a suggestions i want my 240c to work??? this all started when my 250c power supply went out. but the power supply are the same  and i dont think can just be swapped out…….. also im doing this all with out and darn ohm meter.. i just ordered a new one online….
