I have Laserjet M1522NF that was stalling during initialization. Thankfully I found this video and I decided to give it a go. It WORKED!!!! Thanks so much Andycivil for posting this. A couple additional comments- when I first put the board back in and powered the printer up, it got past the original initialization hangup but ended up with a different error message. It said "49 error - turn off then on". I power cycled a couple times but could not get past this. I decided to remove the cover once again and take a look. I found the culprit. The ribbon cable at the bottom of the pc board (shown at 1:30 in the video) had partially dislodged from the connector in the neighboring board below. I re-seated it into its connector and the printer now works again!! My suggestion is that you might want to go ahead and power the printer back up BEFORE reinstalling the plastic cover. This way if you have to make any changes, as I did, you don't have to tear it all apart again! Once you verify the fix, then you can replace the cover once and for all.
Excellent job with the voice over throughout the video. Clear and concise instructions. This little trick will take care of my printer issues until I find a new multi function printer. Thank you very much!
I have just done it... it works like a charm.... I removed the battery from the board, heat up the oven at 150 C degree and put it in at a class plate.. waitied for about 15 minutes.... got it out, soldered the battery back. wonderful. It copies, prints and scans like new Thanks for your useful clip
I really like the step by step approach in your video. I would pause the video and complete a step and made a successful repair on our old, old printer. (4 yrs after you posted your video.) Like removing the battery and replacing it in the same polarity. A big THANKS to you!
Thank you so much for this video! We opened up the printer, removed the board, removed the battery, baked it at exactly 350 F for exactly 8 mins, cool down for 30 mins, put the battery back, put the board back, and plugged everything back in. OMG, it printed! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'm glad it worked for you! Amazingly, I have personally had another HP printer with exactly the same problem - and solution - even though it's a different model (Deskjet 9800). Although in this case the heat melted a plastic switch that told the electronics when the lid was open. But the point is, if one person (me) can have two out of three printers fail in this way, how many times is this happening around the world???
My mf2727 printer showed similar phenomena: at times I found it stuck in the "Initialization" phase, which only a power-cycle would cure. Then it simply refused to turn on. Just baked the motherboard and so far - so good. And just in case - I also replaced one 47uF 35V inside the power supply (on the hot side) that measured a little suspicious on my ESR meter.
Thank you Sir. I've got an old printer working once again. It was locking up at start up and/or turning itself off from time to time. It's been working for a day without problems. Now it still has the odd Scanner 8 error sometimes, but I don't plan to use the scanner on it so I can live with this one.
I baked the Mainboard yesterday, the Printer worked perfect afterwards.. thx. This is how UA-cam Avoid electronic waste. My board hasn't a Battery, probably because of Missing Fax Feature.
My printer was behaving exactly the same as yours; Turning itself off, getting stuck and failing to initialize. Thank you for the tip on how to repair. It now works perfectly! I think you got it right about the crappy solder joints. I used a variation on your method. I used a hot air rework gun which is attached to my solder station. I set the temperature to 400F and applied the hot air to all solder joints on both sides of the board. There is no need to remove the battery if you do it this way. Just keep prolonged direct heat away from it. Many thanks!
Thank you. i know this post is older, but i have the same printer, same issues and this worked great for me. i just fixed mine today, so we'll see how long it goes for, but for now it works. thank you
This worked perfectly for me. I just use my empty bucket and dryer to produce heart cause i don't have oven instead of 8 minutes i added 3 minutes more and boooom it worked thank you soo soo much .
the same problem occurred on my m2727nf printer, so I did as in the video, but when I finished baking, the capacitor started to smoke and some chip fell off. when I put new capacitors and put that chip back and soldered everything as it was, the printer turns on and starts but the screen doesn't work. I moved the cable from the screen and when I almost pulled it all the way out it turned on the screen light and all the other lights. when you approach this strip that goes from the screen like some kind of cable, it only then shows a light on the screen, but no letters come out. can someone help me
Success story today! I baked that motherboard yesterday at maybe 200C (it was an old oven so it might have been even hotter). I was too lazy to remove the battery and after 7 minutes of baking the battery actually split apart. I kept it in the oven for a full 8 minutes (on baking paper). I also didn't bother to protect the ethernet port (we use the USB port). Once the board cooled, I clipped the battery pieces (nodes) off and reinstalled the board in the printer. I didn't even bother screwing it in, I was sure this was a wasted effort... BUT it initialized successfully!!! I did a test-print with MS Word and it worked flawlessly (without a battery!) Maybe the battery is only needed if you print using the ethernet port - the battery might only be responsible for saving the networking settings. I use USB so I didn't have to set up the ethernet.
Yes, it only occurred to me later that my printer didn't seem to have forgotten anything despite me removing and reattaching the battery! So, what's it for? I have no idea. These days, settings can be saved easily in non-volatile memory, so the only reason you'd need a backup battery would be to keep the clock running.
@@MrWajihulhassan It is now Nov. 2019 so this worked for One year and a half! Today the printer is failing with a scanner problem, too expensive to fix...time for a new one.
I've tried the hair dryer method 3x - no success. Finally I baked it 9 mins, 200°C on the grille on baking paper with the electronic parts facing up. It made the kitchen smelling like a car factory but at the end the printer works now perfectly again. BTW I left the battery on the panel. Nothing has happened.
Wooo-that's hot, man! I'm glad it worked for you. I guess you were "it works or I dump it" at that point. The battery is a curiosity; I think perhaps all it does is keep a clock running if the power's off, so even if you toasted it, the printer may work fine. Not sure on that one.
That's a very good question! You know, it only occurred to me months after making this video, that I had disconnected the battery, hence losing whatever it was backing up, and yet it worked perfectly. Also, I did the same procedure on a different HP printer (shame on you, HP) and it didn't even /have/ a battery. I would assume that it's there so that the clock keeps time when you turn it off - and probably little else! Bottom line, I'm pretty sure it won't do it any harm to run without the battery, but the clock might need resetting every time you turn it on (if you care).
How come when I install the same board on 2 other M2727nf printers, they work just fine without this oven process. But same board won't work on a particular printer?
Yes, it can be frustrating when 'board swapping' turns up a combination that won't work, I sympathise but I have no solution. I would say that if a board works on *any* printer reliably, then it probably doesn't need this reflow process. Strange board/unit problems probably arise from small timing or voltage differences, or small functional changes due to version updates.
I just backed my MB of HP and it worked, all problems gone away. Tt vm on this. And for rest i try rest, Updating firmware, no results, trying to power cord off and such no success, and i backed it got a bit scared. turned on and it was like brand new.
can you please show us how to clean the scanner class from inside because the scaning isnt working well it needs to be cleaned from inside because there are dust andycivil
+Elif Akkoyunlu I have to confess, that although the printer in the video worked for several months, it's now started to misbehave again (always works if reset) so I've given up on it and I'm getting a new one for Christmas! It is definitely worth trying this process though - it's not hard if you've got the tools.
+Elif Akkoyunlu Hi guys, I solved removing the blue plastic cover on the main board (on the right). That's because the chip is going overtemperature. The next step will be to install a heat sink on the main chip ;)
I tried the same but unfortunately still not working and Hewlett Packard message is still on the screen of my printer, I need next experience___PLEASE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I also did the same procedure on a different HP printer, and it worked, so it seems hopeful that this is somewhat of a universal solution for HP printers. No promises, of course.
I just did this with my M2727NF and it worked. I did not remove the battery and it did not pop and it is keeping time. I supported the board with aluminum foil but I didn’t cover the plastic socket. Good luck!
That is not a normal error code for a m1005 printer. However, other people have seen this code. It is most likely that the firmware has crashed. If you can update the firmware, this might fix it, but if you can't even do that, then you may be out of luck.
I wouldn't write off the brand just for this one issue. In fact, the printer featured failed again after a year, and I replaced it with another HP. I've been very happy with the new one, although only time will tell if it's well made or not.
Yes! It's still working... but get this: my OTHER HP printer, a 9800 deskjet that I use for colour and wide prints, got EXACTLY the same problem and solution! I melted the lever that tells the s/w when the cover is open, but I don't care, the printing is working again. If one user (me) can get two out of three printers that fail the same way, how many of these darn things are there over the world???

I just tried this on an 18 yo M2727nf HP Printer and it worked. I can't believe I got it back together!!
That's awesome! Just goes to show that even old videos (and old printers) can be useful. Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the slow response!

Brilliant. Worked a treat. Symptoms as described. All sorted now.
How much salt and pepper do I put on it before oven?
I prefer sweet - sprinkled sugar all over it and it made a wonderful smell that was very appropriate for Christmas
