Embarking on the Journey: Uncasing the ET-15000 The journey of repairing your ET-15000 printer begins with a critical step - removing its casing. This initial phase involves delicately disassembling various components to access the internal workings. The process requires precision and care to avoid any damage to the delicate parts of the printer.
Methodical Disassembly: Side Panels and Waste Tank Panel The side panels of the ET-15000 are the first to be addressed. Removing these panels is a meticulous task, involving the careful unscrewing and sliding out of the panels. Similarly, the waste tank panel presents its unique challenge, necessitating a different type of screwdriver. This step is crucial for gaining comprehensive access to the printer's internal components.
Navigating the Printer's Anatomy: Left Side Panel and Top Back Panel Progressing further, the removal of the left side panel follows a similar approach to the right side panel, with an added focus on the waste tank cover. The top back panel, covering the main board and duplexer area, is another vital component to be removed. This step requires a keen eye and a steady hand to successfully navigate and detach the panel.
Scanner Disconnection: A Delicate Operation The removal of the scanners is a delicate part of the process. Detaching the FFC cables connecting the scanner to the main board requires precision and a gentle touch to ensure no damage to the cables or connections.
Mainboard Unveiling: Removing Screws and FFC Cables With the scanner removed, attention turns to the main board. This involves unscrewing and carefully detaching any cables and connections linked to the board. The FFC cables, often taped together, need to be handled with utmost care to avoid tearing or damaging them.
The Final Hurdle: Removing and Installing the Mainboard The removal of the main board is the culmination of this meticulous process. This stage demands attention to detail, as any resistance encountered needs to be addressed cautiously to avoid damaging the board or other components. Once the old board is removed, the installation of the new mainboard follows, requiring a reverse order of the disassembly steps.
