My HP 2610 copier is making a strange crackling noise which is new...what's causing this?

My HP Photosmart 2610 recently started making a strange cracking noise and even though I sprayed air inside to clear any potential dust but it still is making the noise. This is a new issue within the last week and does anyone know what is causing this.  It's driving us crazy with the anoying crackling noise.

HI,

Perform a semi-full reset on the all-in-one by following the steps below

  1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  2. Unplug the power cord from the all-in-one.
  3. Wait 30 seconds, and plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  4. Press and hold the # and 6 buttons on the numeric keypad.
  5. While still holding the buttons, plug the power cord back in to the all-in-one. Continue to hold the buttons for two seconds, and then release them
  6. Allow the all-in-one to re-initialize. This may take a minute or two.
  7. If prompts appear in the all-in-one display to set the front panel language and country settings, perform the steps to set this information.
Note - you can also try the Ok n cancel key combination in place of # and 6 .

u can also try the following steps >>

u can press set up on the printer > go to the tools option [ by pressing the down arrow key ] > press ok > go to clean print head , clean cartridge , allign printer > it will service the product .

The problem should be corrected. If the problem still exists, service your product.

Thanks

Hi, My MIL has this Hp Photo 2610 all in one printer and I've loaded the "driver" and bought a new cord but the computer still dosen't work...what now?

Hello,

Did you install the full feature driver or just the basic driver ?
Do you have another printer installed. If so, select the Photosmart 2610 as your default printer.

There's a support page for drivers and software, including updates.
Support for the Photosmart 2610:

I can not scan from my 2610xi photosmart printer. Says I need to install the software. HELP!!

Have you tried updating the drivers from HP's website? I know when I recently upgrade my Internet Explorer it for some reason messed with the software I had installed for the HP Photosmart 2610. I reinstalled the software and uploaded the most recent drivers and eventually got everything to work fine again. So I am wondering if maybe one of the patches/upgrades the Microsoft sends down may have messed with your software as well....Hope that helps.

HP 2600n crackling noise at top feed - paper creased

Can you wipe the toner off the page or smear it? Most likely the fuser has had the fixing film fail. Thus the crackling noise. You have two solutions, 1. replace the fuser with a ne or rebuilt one or 2. find a fixing film and replace it yourself. Both jobs require removing the fuser which means disassembling the printer. Check Printer Works for a diagram and Google for the best price on a fuser. Hope this helps.
