    Thank you so much for taking the trouble to show us how this thing fits together - or rather, comes apart! It's just awful that all this costly equipment is meant to go to landfill after it has a wee problem. I only wish you'd shown us how to get the tape connector for the scanner back in place!

      Thank you. Yeah, unfortunately when I do a disassembly video, I do not think much about showing how to reconnect things or put back. I understand some connections are simple slide in place, others have a small clamps and those clamps can be different as well. I will keep that in mind in future videos and try to point those little things out. Once again, thank you so much for your support and for the suggestion. Have a great day!

    Is heartwarming to see someone other than me bumblefucking around w/ this thing. It works just like you show too... doesnt matter how much finesse you try it will stick together until it decides not to, then come gracefully apart like it wasnt ever a difficulty.
    Also, that left side screw was on purpose to upset me.

    Thanks a bunch, the time to view this was well worth it for the results. I was getting a paper jam display with no visible paper in the mechanism and could not go any further. I figured it was worth a shot to check inside for other issues. Although the video did not describe problem solving issues just getting this apart would have been a much bigger challenge. I got my XP-440 apart, found the problem (a part interacting with a detection switch on the circuit board that must have been bent removing a paper jam), and all is well.

  • @lisaerhard6343
    @lisaerhard6343 ปีที่แล้ว

    Update: Thanks to your video I was successful in removing the left side panel and scanner cover so I could access the wires for my faulty display panel. The connections seemed tight, but still display not working. If I can get a replacement panel I will need to reassemble what I've taken off and herein lies my question for today: Where does the cover wire get connected? Like you, despite my best efforts, the cover's wire got disconnected. Not sure where that gets plugged back in. Would you please explain.... Thank you!

      Hi. Yes, XP-330 and XP-340 printheads are same.

  • @lisaerhard6343
    @lisaerhard6343 ปีที่แล้ว

    Actually I have another question. My screen is not working at all, so I wanted to take the printer apart to see if there's a loose connection that needs tightening before attempting to replace the part. Will I be able to test out the screen if I've taken everything apart up to the point of taking out the screen/control panel, or does the printer need to be reassembled in order to test it out? Thanks!

  • @lisaerhard6343
    @lisaerhard6343 ปีที่แล้ว

    One last question I promise! Have you seen issues with the control panel not working on the xp310? I haven't used it much and have kept in the box as well. Suddenly it just stopped working. Lights up, but nothing there :(. What do you think is the cause of this issue? Is it possible that the wire isn't properly positioned or maybe came loose somehow? Not sure how/why that could have happened, it's not like I've been using the printer as a football or anything. "Here, catch! It's an Epson"!!!

    Hello, I have a question regarding my Epson XP442 printer:
    The printer prints, but the sheets in the paper tray are clamped by such a movable little arm that the printer cannot pull/take the sheets.
    I thought about tearing the little thing off, but it is necessary because it detects whether there are sheets in the tray or not.
    What can I do?

      Gi. No, there is no battery on this printer. Maybe a tiny one on a logic board, usually never needs to be replaced. This printer needs to be plugged in to operate.

    • @303electronics
      @303electronics  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi. Best is to search the printhead with your printer model. for example "Epson XP-400 printhead" or "XP400 printhead". I do not know the part number for this printhead, but I found this listing. It is not mine and I have not bought from them. www.ebay.com/itm/202663047946
      Most are going to be from China, about 2-3 weeks delivery.

    I have an epson ET m1120 ECOTANK. I want to seek the following solution. I would like to replace the inkt inside with special stencal inkt. How could I proceed to remove the existing inkt in the ecotank and fill it with the special stencil inkt?
    I think that I should see if i can remove the tank and turn upside down, if possible.
    What I have tried so far is insering a seringe to see if i could vacum the inkt out. But the needle wont go through, and I dont want to force it. Any advice and suggestions are welcome.

      Hi. I do not think that you can remove the tanks, maybe you can, but I never tried. The only thing I can possibly help with is getting to the ink cartridges. I'm sorry I'm not much help. This is the video:

    I have an XP-420 that immediately displays a “0x60” error when turned on and asks to be shut off. After taking it apart, I did find one small plastic piece rattling around by the printhead; it is L-shaped, black, very small with one outer side covered with a small reflective sticker or metal. I can’t seem to find the part anywhere online. Does anyone know what it is? I suspect this is causing the issue but don’t even know where to begin. Thanks!

    • @303electronics
      @303electronics  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually something inside the printer will trigger that error. Remove loose part and see if problem goes away. It can be a broke off piece of structural part of the printer and may not negatively reflect on printer functionality.
