HP Officejet 4630 Scanner Head Replacement

Difficulty

Difficult

Steps

Time Required

20 minutes

Introduction

The scanner head is necessary for copying and faxing. Follow the guide to replace this crucial part.

Tools

Step 1

There is a hidden screw underneath the model sticker on the front panel.
Peel the model sticker off the cover.
This will expose the T10 screw securing the panel.

Step 2

Remove the single 12mm-T10 screw securing the front panel to the printer body.
Loosen the panel cover from the printer body.
There is a ribbon cable connected to the backside of the cover. Disconnect the cable before separating the panel completely.

It would be good to note that to “loosen the panel cover from the printer body,” the procedure is to:

1. Take out the screw

2. Slide the panel cover gently to the right until it stops (1/4 inch)

3. Slide the panel cover upwards thus lifting it from the holding tabs

4. Remove panel cover

Otherwise it makes it seem like steps 2 and 3 are not necessary which could cause someone to use excessive force to remove the panel cover.

Step 3

Gently remove the No-Fuss ribbon cable from the front panel.

Step 4

Remove the seven 8mm screws using the Torx T6 screwdriver.
Remove the motherboard from the front-panel housing.
The LCD display is on the opposite side.

Step 5

Lift the hood of the printer.

Step 6

Remove the two T10 11mm screws.

Step 7

Remove the panels covering the power brick and cord.

Step 8

Remove the cord from the power supply.

Step 9

Slide the power supply out from the chassis.
The power supply is still attached; don't pull too quickly.

Step 10

Remove final cable from power supply.

What if it isn't the power module what if its the power button it self. Because where the module is connected I see power is on

Thank you for this concise post. How does one know it is the power supply to change? I hear a humming sound when I plug in (after 30 second button push reset), but no display or lights.
