If you mean the part near the back labeled "Warning High Temperature", it's
not even warm after being on for about an hour. Here's a thought though: The
IIsc and the NeXT use the same toner cartridge and paper tray. Is it then
safe to say both use identical fuser assemblies, and I could borrow the one
out of the NeXT? There are plenty of cheap fusers on eBay, but I'm
impatient. :)
I just noticed something else: If it's been off for a while, it will whir
when powered up, but only for about a second. After blinking for a while,
the green light stays green. Then it goes back to the two red lights
blinking.
