Xerox all-in-one flash update
 

I have a chance to buy a Xerox 385 all in one (fax, scan, copy, print
(laser))

The current owner says he attemped a "flash update" that "went wrong" and
now the machine will not "accept data."

Does anyone have any idea how much of a problem this is to fix if it is even
possible?

BTW, I have 40 years experience in the electronic servicing field and am
very conversant with computers so I am not necessarily looking for a dead
easy fix even though that would be nice.

Thanks

There's a chance you could fix it, but as a general rule I never buy
anything that's dead unless the price is a small fraction of it's value if
working, too often it turns out to be not economical to repair, and broken
stuff is easy to find for free.
