Remove HP Officejet Scanner Assembly
Introducing the HP Officejet scanner assembly removal guide! If your printer is experiencing issues with scanning, this step-by-step guide will help you troubleshoot and resolve the problem by replacing the scanner assembly.
Step 1: Prep the Printer
- Remove the printer from any additional paper tray.
Pull out the paper tray from the front and the duplexer from the rear.
- Consider removing the print head to minimize ink leakage.
Step 2: Detach the Control Panel
Hold the control panel with one hand and reach underneath it with the other.
- Pull firmly downward on the curved support to detach it from the display.
Lift the display further up and reach behind the brown plastic cover.
- Pull it forward to release the cover.
- Rest the machine on its rear panel to access the cable.
- Lift up the brown clamp and pull out the cable.
Using a T-10 Torx screwdriver, undo the two screws beneath the display (pictured).
- The display remains attached to the scanner assembly for now. If you need to detach it for further repairs, you can do so once the scanner assembly is removed.
Step 3: Access the Scanner Assembly
- On the back of the printer, remove the two screws on the right-hand side (left-hand when viewed from the front).
- Open the door on the front of the computer and remove the one screw on the lower left-hand side.
- Using a spudger lever firmly outwards on the lower rear side of the panel.
- With your other hand, push the panel backward. It will slide half a centimeter backward and come free.
- Disconnect the scanner flat flex, sheet feeder, and LED cables (marked in red).
- Remove the earth strap (marked in yellow).
- No other cables need to be removed at this time.
- Remove the remaining screws around the top of the printer.
- Lift the scanner assembly away from the printer.
Step 4: Detach the Display
- If you need to detach the display, lay the scanner assembly upside down.
- Lower the display assembly, push it to the right, and then adjust the angle of the display until it drops away from the scanner.
- Reconnect it to the flat-flex cable and clip the support back into the rear to hold it.
- The printer will operate normally without the scanner.
