Bugs in the firmware can stop it from working correctly, or physical damage to the platters can damage the firmware. A sudden circuit short of power supply failure can cause damage to a hard drive`s printed circuit board (PCB), where some of the hard drive`s firmware may be stored.

Same as any software, you need to update printer firmware sometimes to improve your printer functionality. Usually, such updates are performed automatically. They may contain some bug fixes, which makes your device work better, safer, and more efficiently.

What repair needs to be done for a "50 needs repair" message on an HP Laserjet IIIP?
ANSWER : I don’t know what you mean by good toner cartridges. They haven’t been built in about 10 years, so if they are new OEMs in the box, they are guaranteed to fail. The 50 error on that printer is mostly a burned out fuser lamp. This site was sold, so as you can see, there are no more kits available.

2 PROBLEMS
ANSWER : 49 errors are communications errors. 99.99% of the time you clear out the job and restart the printer and it goes away. The noise is most likely a worn gear that drives the fuser. Remove the fuser unit from the back of the printer and look down at the left side. If you see a pile of grayish dust, look up at the gear above and you’ll see it is worn. It’s called the swing plate assembly. You can buy the whole assembly, which requires a lot of dismantling to get to, or you can just buy the one gear, which only requires removing the formatter assy (2 screws) and one screw holding the axle for the gear.
