COVER OPEN (by 18 users)

Hi everyone, I just recieved a seconhand lexmark X3470 and just solved the cover open issue as follows. The reason it is happening is a broken bit of plastik that pushes onto the atual switch if you turn it upsidedown it should fall out [ throw it in the bin] Now as you open and close the lid, at the back you will see a moulded peice of the lid sticking out next to the paper feed roller, this is what conected to the other broken bit wich then pushed in the switch. So if you get a torch and look in the gap aligned with the were the bit that sticks out of the back of the lid you will then see a small black thing atatched to a green board and in the middle of this there is the actuall tiny switch witch needs to be pushed in and held there, i used super glue its a bit tricky but it works

I Took some tape rolled it up and jammed it down in there with the bottem part of a Ink Pen. Works. Kinda Ugly but better than buying another one of these junk Printers. I'll use this ink up and get rid of it. Will warn all of my Friends against this Peice of Junk. THANK YOU BENNY29! I would have never figured this one out!

I tried the super glue and it worked, thanks Guys

Thanks Benny29
I did what you said, but I used tape and a pen to push the tape into place and it has worked for awhile now. Thanks again. Try this and maybee it will work for you to. Mumm64
