Yep, the little ****** broke off like all the others as there is quite a bid of force on it from the spring. Where the lid pops up I just reach in and depress the switch to shut off the "open lid" message, but have to replace it by calling Brother service.
The little plastic tabs that hold the metal pin in place have broken off and the lid will not lay flat. I would like to buy a new hinge and try and fix it myself
We forced the lid on the ADF and hinge is stretched...problem is when it closes it doesn't depress switch so we rigged it to hit switch but paper always jams feeding through. It hits the top pad over glass and jams up.
Will hinge replacement fix this?
