Ah, i see. But it's so weird that after the lightning strike, the usb is completely useless. I mean, none of the pc's didn't recognize when i plugged in the usb to the printer. Nothing happens. When the lightning struck, the pc were affected, cus it was a loud static "boom" in the room,and the monitor went black for 2-3sec before it turned on again.. but after that,all was normal on the pc again. but i noticed the printer was connected to the pc via usb. so something must have happened.. but it's so strange.

I have tried to look for any other damage on the board,but i can't find any.
Strange that it works fine, but as soon as the usb i connected to the pc, all motors jitter like crazy,and as soon as i unplug it, everything is fine.
Anyways.. it's going in the trash,i think. I don't have the expertise to fix it :p I would be happy to post it to one of you gurus so you can have a looksie
