Canon Selphy CP1200 Cooling Fan Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

15 - 20 minutes

Introduction

This guide shows how to replace the cooling fan of the Canon Selphy CP12000. This replacement may be necessary if the cooling fan is faulty or the device is overheating excessively.

Tools

Step 1

Unscrew the four 6mm PH000 corner screws.
This will require a screwdriver with a long, narrow shaft.

Step 2

Unscrew the three 4mm PH1 screws on the bottom of the printer.

Step 3

Gently pry open the top of the case from either the front or back.
A plastic opening tool may help.
Be careful in lifting the top assembly as it is attached to the motherboard at this point.

Step 4

Keeping the top assembly elevated, detach the ribbon cables connecting the LCD and buttons to the motherboard from the motherboard.
Tweezers may be useful given the limited space between the top assembly and motherboard.
The top assembly, containing both the LCD and buttons, will now be completely free

Step 5

Detach the fan cable from the motherboard.

Step 6

Detach the ribbon cable leading to the DC in port and battery leads.
Tweezers may be useful.

Step 7

Unscrew the three 3mm PH000 screws from the motherboard.

As at this point the whole printmechanism-motherboard assembly is already loose in the case, you can also consider taking out the whole thing completely before removing these screws. It is much easier to remove the cables at the bottom when you have a bit more space. You have to bend the plastic case a bit so the USB ports are free, but other than that you should have not have a problem.

(do step 10 first though, if possible)

Step 8

Disconnect the bundled cables leading to the printing mechanism.

Step 9

Gently lift the motherboard and detach the ribbon cables leading to the print mechanism.
Tweezers may be useful due to the limited amount of space.

Step 10

Open the side door and depress the ink cassette release.
Slide out and remove the ink cassette.

Step 11

Unscrew the three 3mm PH000 screws securing the metal plate to the printing mechanism.

Step 12

Lift out the print mechanism of the printer case.

When I re-assembled the printer, I found it easier to assemble the motherboard and printing unit outside of the case and then putting that assembly back in the case in one go. This gives a lot more room to reinsert the flat cables. (my unit was a CP1300 though, but I think they are identical)

Other than that, great guide. Thanks for posting!
