It's possible that the carousel is the problem. Pull out the yellow and see in the carousel if the silver contact is okay {push down} and the spring is present.
Also check that the white 4 prong drive is okay.{on right side of carousel}
Next might be the developer PCB, on the top right in front of fan. Unplug, and replug connectors.
This is an old unit, and the costs may be prohibitive.

Try pulling the fuser out and emptying the toner spill tray above and behind the fuser. If this tray is full it can spill over and put toner on the page.
