HP LaserJet P1102w Drive Belt Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

25 - 30 minutes

Introduction

These steps will show how to replace the drive belt from the printer. This guide may be used if the rollers of your printer are working incorrectly. The drive belt gears are very specific in fit and position so take a good look at their locations before removing them.

Tools

Step 1

Flip printer on it's back. Using the plastic spudger, pry off front panel. There will be two main points to focus as shown.
Pry carefully to not break any plastic.

my two main points were precisely under the rubber feet, they were surprisingly difficulty to dislodge.

Step 2

Now that the pry points are free lift up the front panel.

Step 3

Unscrew the #1 Phillips screw 6mm on the back of the printer.

Step 4

Using the plastic spudger, remove the button housing from the top left of printer.
Pry carefully to not break any plastic.

Step 5

Once the housing is removed, remove the three buttons.

Step 6

Use the plastic spudger to remove the side panel. There are three main prying points as shown.
Pry carefully to not break any plastic.

mine had a PH2 screw on the printer back thru the side panel into the aluminum serial plate/back, placed in the 2nd and third picture in the tab with a round screw hole and square locator hole. Critical clips were center back, center top and center bottom, and two points on the front.

Remove top two big gears using tweezers.
Take note of gear placement.

the tight side panel clips make this a difficult procedure, so take care both disassembling and assembling, for example make sure the power button is aligned with the level components behind before you push to clip the front home, as misalignment can break or dislocate internal parts.
