Need some parts to repair this printer. Where can I find them ?

Question moved from Cellphones category.

It depends on what parts it needs and how long it takes to repair as you pay labour by the hour.

To give you a rough idea, my Canon MG7120 had a Print Head error, and to put in a new Print head and test was $160 including tax at a Canon Service Centre. That may seem a lot, but I had over $200 invested in Ink Cartridges. It was .warrantied for 6 months and is still going strong 2 years later and is like new.

You need to replace the internal power supply, given the low cost of the printers today it is not a cost feasible repair.

These sort of parts are very hard to source as generally the repair cost is more than the cost of a new printer. I have had success doing these type of repairs by buying a length of ribbon cable from an electronic parts supplier and carefully soldering the wires onto the circuit boards. It is delicate work and you need to be careful, but it can be done if you take your time.

If you're in the UK you could try Inkrite.com as I do know they repair printers.
Other than that, it seems wrong, but these days it's often cheaper to buy new than get something 'old' repaired....

Hello,

he problem you are having is caused by a worm separation pad assembly. This assembly is what separates the paper into individual sheets. It takes about 30 minutes to disassemble the printer and replace the part. Most printer repair shops will do the repair for you but the cost may be a bit much. If you are interested in doing the repair yourself we do stock the part. We can provide the separation assembly and a service manual on CD that gives directions for replacing the parts plus other information about the printer. The part and guide runs $14.95 plus shipping. Let me know if you need one, tech

Hi,

This is a mechanical problem or a hardware issue. You will need to bring the printer into repair to service and fix the printer. Some parts need to be calibrated and replace so that you will need to service the unit.

Hope this helps

The solutions for this are posted elsewhere on this site, look for "Scanner Error 5". Basically, it's one of several things that can be cleaned or adjusted without having to replace the entire scanner head. If it does need parts they should return the printer to you until the parts are available. This error does not prevent you from printing. Even though the printer shows the error message and tells you to cycle the power, you don't need to. It will still print with this error. Find a repair shop with someone who knows what they are doing, or get a #10 Torx screw driver and fix it yourself.

Read the other thread. Could be dirty mirrors, dirty or crooked film sensor strip, or bad light bulb, all of which can be easily repaired.

Call 0845 644 5092, they will deliver the part at home.

Tell them that you do not want the repair, but only the part, otherwise they may misunderstand and send you a technician.
