After conducting some research, I found that the main reason for these failures is due to a small, embedded PC mainboard that is based on the VIA C3 processor. However, there is a solution to this problem. To make matters worse, the original producer, Z Corporation, no longer provides spare parts for older printers manufactured before 2012 since they were acquired by 3D Systems.
Unfortunately, replacement modules can be incredibly expensive, costing around $5000 USD in 2015. If you own a ZPrinter 650 color powder 3D printer, you may have experienced issues with the large electronics module, which is prone to failures.
