Since this list bhas the best collection of techies, I'm hoping somebody might be able to help out....
One of our office laserjet 1000's suddenly began making a loud grinding noise today. Based on the sound, it seems like it is coming from the righthand side where the gears on the fuser roller interface with the gears in the toner cartridge. The fuser roller appears to be spring loaded, so I am guessing there is some wear on these gears. I tried another toner cartridge from another LJ 1000 in the office and get the same grinding noise. Are repair parts available for this? I'm fairly handy with my hands and can probably handle it if it isn't going to be some sring-loaded explosion of parts all over the workbench if I don't recite some secret HP voodoo chant =-), but I might need some general instructions to get over the hump... ing up on 128.171.104.133. > > --- Original message follows. > > Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Received: from [67.52.184.134] by web60705.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; > Wed, 30 Jun 2004 18:53:34 PDT > Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2004 18:53:34 -0700 (PDT) > From: Robert Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: help with dying (dead?)
