Troubleshooting Printhead Screw Alignment in Epson XP-15000

Question: In the Epson XP-15000 repair video, particularly around the 16-minute mark, I noticed difficulty with screwing the screws back into the printhead. The first two screws don't seem to tighten. Could it be an issue with their alignment, or is it something else?

Thank you for your question, and I appreciate you being a subscriber and a valued member of our community. Your active participation is key to enhancing the technical support we provide. I understand how frustrating it can be when things don’t go as planned, especially with delicate components like the printhead.

From your description, it sounds like you're encountering a common issue where the first two screws do not align properly when you try to reinsert them into the printhead of your Epson XP-15000. This is often due to the screws' holes being damaged or worn out, which can happen if the screws were overtightened in the past or if they were removed and reinserted multiple times.

Here are some steps you can follow to address this issue:

1. Inspect the Screw Holes: Check if the screw holes are stripped or damaged. If they appear worn out, this could prevent the screws from gripping and securing properly.
2. Use the Correct Screw Size: Ensure that the screws you are using are the correct ones for these holes. Sometimes, mixing up screws during disassembly can lead to alignment issues during reassembly.
