Disassembling HP Printer printer cover

Archived Guide
This guide is retained solely for historical purposes. Use the updated version of the guide to perform your repair.

What you need

    • Lift open the scanner cover.

    • Gently pry off the scanner cover support arm. This is the scariest part as the arm is all plastic. There is a small nob projecting into the path of the slider in the middle of the arm. Hold the cover open to minimize contact with the support arm while prying.

    • Carefully remove part of the printer badge on the front right hand side of the printer. Underneath you will expose the first of three hidden screws.

    • On the front left-hand side of the printer is the monitor / display. This is clipped into the plastic printer cover. Reach underneath to squeeze the clips so you can gently pull up and out the three clips

    • Disconnect the flat cable to the display unit and set aside.

    • Take your screwdriver and remove the two screws uncovered by the removed display.

    • Remove the two screws on the left hand side of the printer cover

    • Remove the two screws on the right hand side of the printer cover.

    • Remove the two screws at the back of the printer holding the scanner main hinges in place.

    • Place a support behind the printer with a soft cover (towel will do) to place the scanner.

    • Unhinge the scanner and carefully place on the towel behind the printer (as the cable is still attached).

    • Remove the printer cover.

Conclusion
