In the deep dark depths of my warehouse I found two lonely LaserWriter Pro 630s.
One would fire up and try to print the test page but would jam. Another one would turn on but sit there dumbly.
I took the formatter board from the one that printed and put it into the one that sat there dumbly, and now I have one functioning printer that successfully prints the test page.
Noticing the bad formatter board I saw the tell-tale surface mount capacitors and the magic goo leaking from within them. I know the working LaserWriter will succumb to this fate in due time.
So, to make a long story short, check your LaserWriter for leaking caps on the formatter board. Replace caps and try again. I'll give it a shot on the board I have here and report back. (in a few months - too busy right now)
