Canon GP200 problem

Canon GP200 problem

Hello folks. Today I picked up a very well optioned Canon GP200 for the collection and got it home. Knew it had some issues but it was free and it's a chassis style I very much like. Machine has a DADF (RDF-G1) and a 10 bin sorter / stapler, neither of which worked initially. I tracked this down to a faulty accessory power supply (0VDC on the 24VDC line) and substituted it with a Meanwell 24VDC supply. This brought both back to life fully, and the machine was able to perform all operations perfectly fine, but attempting to staple resulted in a staple jam. While clearing the staple jam, the machine went to sleep and the light on the sorter and the light on the DADF started rapidly flashing. Pressing the power key did not bring the machine out of sleep. Power cycling the machine did not bring it back. Disconnecting the DADF and sorter then power cycling again did not bring the machine back. I get the power LED but no movement from the machine and no light from the display.

Did I just wreck this machine by replacing a 24V supply with a 24V supply? I'm not sure how that would happen exactly.

Please help if able. I'll be very sad if I just did a 7 hour day getting this thing out of someone's basement and up 3 flights of stairs, driving across state lines, and then spending another 3 hours tracing and subbing a bad power supply.

Hello, I've got a drum in an old machine in my collection that I'm having some difficulty finding a replacement for, and I'd like to have it remanufactured or just recoated. I've seen machines for sale which can do this, but not sure I want to drop $3000 for one drum. Was wondering if there was somewhere I could mail it, have it recoated and sent back for a fee.

Of course, if anyone can find the Toshiba OD-1710 drum I actually need I'd be just as happy buying one of those.
