- Taking apart HP Photosmart C6150 All-in-One printer. Same instructions for HP C6180, C7250, and C7280 printers. If you need to repair this printer or replace some part, I hope this video helps you get to that part. This is a very good and smart printer. One of the first HP wireless inkjet printers. These have very smart and heavy duty ink system.
I had an "Ink System Failure" error and the printer stopped printing. The reason for it is that there was a paper piece inside the printer. Usually there is not need to take apart a printer to get to the piece of paper, or whatever is in the way, but I still needed a part from this and this printer has over 10,000 pages printed, so I just decided not to salvage it, but salvage parts off it. I hope my experience can be of help to you.

Fantastic, so good to see a teardown. Everyone is complaining about plastic gears failing and it goes to show HP has truly engineered it to fail within 4-5 years of light use so you have to buy a new printer!
😆You're may be right!
Had to clean the bottom of the glass on our HP 6180 and you truly made our lives easier with this simple step by step video explaining each step. Thank you, Jason & Maria ;-)
You're welcome! Have a great day!
You don’t show how to put it back together 😩
Ah, the 02 ink series HP printer we've learned to love and hate. I have about a dozen of these and by now, the little black feed roller gear has broken in all of them. (It appears the plastic shrinks so they eventually crack on the steel shaft.)
It would be a great video to show how to replace that gear with the minimum of "bloodshed" but having taken one of these printers completely apart down to the base plate for another repair, it appears the same level of disassembly is required for this gear.
To make matters worse, this gear can be seen and I've thought about getting the new bear, cutting it in half and then super gluing it to the shaft with some wrapped wire to keep the halves secure by reinforcing the glue.
However, I haven't started this project yet. (and am not looking forward to it either!)
Thanks for the video, but it would have been nice to disassemble down to the gears since this appears to be their Achilles Heel and will eventually kill every last one of them no matter how low the page count.
Yes, I've had two HP C6280s with black gear failures. Looking for a video myself. Did you get your printer fixed?
@@christopherw840 LOL, I have TWELVE with the broken gear! Haven't done anything. 70 years old. Not enough time left (!) I love little projects like these but I doubt if I will ever do the repair. I once had to break down one of these to the sheet metal base to repair a stupid plastic finger in the paper feeder - had to do with the head docking ink tank. Nasty bit-o-business! I have the Top of the Food Chain C8180 w/Blue Tooth which I'd really like to fix.
I had thoughts of selling on eBay but when they dropped the 1099-K reporting from $20k to $600, that killed personal property sales. Local market has no interest. There are a few nationally that want these printers - there are certain models which command more money - I have 2 or 3 of those in addition.
NOTE: I actually have a weird one (has a graphic of turning gears when doing maintenance - none have that "cartoon") that has an ink system failure that might be fixable by disconnecting the side PCB ribbon cables, power it up, turn off, reconnect cables and force to do an initial ink system prime. It might possibly have a different gear design but no idea.
Mine broke 2 days ago, lol
Thank you for doing this. Rebuilding a engine seems like a cake walk compared to this, lol
Incredible video! But I'm not going to tackle all of this for my dinosaur - I am getting a new printer, and trying a cleaning kit for this old beast. One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Have a great day!!!
Thank you!!!
My old C72780 was clogging up. I just needed step-by-step on disassembling without breaking it.
Thanks soooooo much, this is one of the best tutorial videos I seen so far. You helped me fix my printer, had papers in the same spot as yours. Thanks
Very good. Thank you so much for your comment. Gives me a boost to share more videos! Have an awesome day!
This is definitely unintended ASMR, I loved it! Thank you!
I would have liked to see the _bottom_ of the print head.
Thanks so much for the video!
I have 3 printers (C6150, C7280, C8180) that do not feed paper. I suspect it is a bad gear. I also suspect his is a common failure. I was hoping you would have torn into the feed mechanism.
Same, same, I do wish he would have gone further into the feed unit; however, I'm sure if one can get this far, the rest is do-able.
Sven P, I had the same problem at one of the little white gears driving the transport rollers. As I did not have seen this video it took me many hours to disassemble…
Glad you found it. Thanks for the feedback. Have a great day!
This printer is being destroyed. Now I want to see him put it back together.
😀 It's long gone..... but maybe I'll get a similar one and accept your challenge.
What is the best way to clean the printer head? Should it be removed or purchase cartridges and put cleaning solution in them as I seem on UA-cam?
Removing the printhead is a lot of work. I would just clean it by placing paper towel with solution under the printhead inside the printer.
My two D7160 & D7360 don‘t start their 😮ink pumps when turning on, error message.
My C8180 has paper feed and jam
problems, currently, when helping the paper come through by touching and adjusting the duplexer, it sounds like printing correctly, paper comes out white, now with blackish ink strips. Obviously it sprays ink somewhere but not on to the paper. On if my two D5460 has a permant printhead jam, I have not figured out completely how the mechanism works with feedings and rolls and adjusting the ink cleaning waste tank, for sure one lever on the side is not keeping its position and falls aside sometimes
How do you take the paper tray out? The paper pickup roller keeps crunching the paper as it feeds it into the printer and jamming it. I cant lift off the paper output tray...
Thank you for posting, I need to replace the drive gear on the 'u' turn roller. I think you vid will expedite that project. Hopefully there are a number of shortcuts in removing some of the panels and systems.
If I tore mine down that far, I’d never remember all of that. It’s probably a good video for someone with that experience, Too many disconnects.
Yeah, it is a complicated build. Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Only piece I can’t figure out where it came from is the metal bar with a black plastic stopper on one side (21:52 bottom center of printer on the table) best I can figure is under the print head somewhere?
Any help would be awesome
A bit haphazard, but I love your confidence. You have given me the courage to try fixing (cleaning the head). Great vid
Thank you! Wish you success with the project!
@@303electronics thank you for the video. My printer #C6180 has an error:Oxc 18a 0206. Ink system failure. Can you please advise on how to fix? No paper jam. Bit ink leaked out at one time. Email for me: chuminiecki.invests@gmail.com Thank you so very much
Hi ti make the head move you Just turno the Gear One turn around on the left side out of It and that takes. the block so you can move It to the middle
My c6180 seems to have awful nozzle/hose/printhead issues.. the black works fine, the yellow prints GREEN, the two blues have bands and the two magents dont print at all. I tried multiple cleaning kits with no luck so i ordered a new print head $35, and a ink feeder $15). I'm hoping with your video and these parts i get it back working or i'm going to throw it off the empire state building. all the ink i use is in date (remanufacturered though) so who knows. But NEW parts shouldn't do what is happening now don't you think? Or if i sent you this crap and paid you can you get it working
HP 7250. Will not print due to paper tray empty message continuously displayed. Broken plastic gear on out of paper sensor (CC586A ?). How do I quickly replace the sensor or preferably override the out of paper condition?
Hi. Try cleaning the pick up roller first. See this video for instructions.

I keep getting a failure code of Error: 0xc18a0206 ... I am not as skillset privileged as yourself, however, I am willing to do some troubleshooting, Yet, I have not idea where to start. This is a great vid, yet still, have the gap of starting point in my head -- again, not trying to dismantle the entire unit.
All ink levels are good. Said one had expired, replaced that cartridge. It does make a sound when I try to align?/clean? the ink heads?
Any thoughts? Thank you for the video and time!
@Tyler Brown, were you able to fix the issue? I have the same code # coming up too on mine. Email me for me: chuminiecki.invests@gmail.com

If you had any luck?
Hello,thanks you nice movie,
Can you help me ? I need to change my head printer and i start to disassemble the printer and I am left with a small metal tab with a black plastic bump that I don't know where to put back, in your video we saw it when you remove the print head and the ink supports in the middle of the paper cart.
can you tell me where to put it back please?
Thanks.
Hello
Yes that video is really helpfull i've just unmounted mind C6180 with it.
I had a big black ink leak at first i thought it was the ink absorber that was full but looks like it leeking directly from the printhead.
I believe the printhead is dead don’t you think ?
No i’m sure if i replace it or if i throw away the printer… Yes she’s from 2007 but she was working good befor that…
Any advice ?
Question to the author of the video - Is it possible to disassemble and safely reassemble the C8770A printhead installed on the printer in the video? If you can, please show me the process!
I have never tried to fix or work on the C8770A printhead which ios for these HP Photosmart printers. To me it seems very complicated. They seem to have a brain of their own. I'm sorry. Thank you for your question.
Hello, The issue I'm having is the Black ink is not printing depict have a full cartridge. I'm guessing the print head is really clogged. My question is will I need to totally dismantle the printer to get to the print head?
No, usually on these printers that is not the issue. Remove all ink cartridges, turn printer off then on. Then reinstall all ink cartridges and use a new or different black cartridge. It may prime the nozzles.
@@303electronics Thank you for replying. I was able to get the black ink to print finally by repeatedly restarting the clean head utility for one to two hours consecutively until the ink head would function properly. To avoid using too much paper I reused front and back for ten sheets until the Ultimate break through. Thank you again.
Thank you for your video.
But I couldn't see what I want.
I have paper delivery problem on my printer(HP PHOTOSMART C6280).
One little cogwheel on the left side of the steel rod which deliver papers from the backside was broken.So I have to change the gear. How do you take it apart the steel rod ? Do you have any video clip for my reference or any advice? ( How about adding that part at the end of this video ?)
Thank you in advance :)
I have the same problem.
@@BillLund So do I.
I have either the same problem or something of that nature. My paper wrinkles up in one spot. I was hoping to find a video that showed that type "roller" or ? repair. (More or less in the area that would be "next" to take apart). Thank you for this video though. It shows quite a bit. If the printer stops scanning I may just do what you showed and then experiment. Thank you.
Did you try to force out a paper jam by any chance? and have you fix it?
I just fixed it... Take the duplex cover off, and the first roller you see has a gear on the left... push the rod to the left and it will re engage to the gear and the rollng rod ... job done... you don't need to take it apart (like I did) one year later I have a working printer again. LOL
Great video. I have an issue with the power being "on" but the panel and power buttons not working. I can see a glow by the scanner but pressing the power button has no effect. Is there a way to spray contact cleaner into the space between the visible control buttons and the PC board or is it sealed. If it is sealed can I buy a replacement board for less than the price of the unit?
Thank you for your response,what kind of solution and how do I get to the printer head?
I am getting streaks on my document feeder scans. Where do I clean to get rid of the streaks?
Hi. Lift the adf cover and you will find a glass strip. That is the one that needs to be cleaned. I show this on a similar build printer in the video link below. You do not need to take anything apart, just lift cover and adf unit. Hope this helps. Please let me know if that does the trick. Thanks.

You are wonderful however, I had pure anxiety watching you pull this printer apart! LOL
I'm sorry. I know it is a good printer and watching it being torn apart is not the nicest thing maybe, but it was still going for an e-waste, so I took it there all disassembled.😃Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend.
thank you .. :)
My hp c309a says to remove paper jam but i just got it out of the box never been used, what can it be?
Hi. Use a flashlight to check inside the printer. Something may just be out of place or a piece of packaging foam could have landed in the printer. There is also the back of the printer that opens up. Check that with flashlight too.
@@303electronics thank you, i unscrewed the right side of the cover and there was a loose gear. I wish there was a video or pictures showing how paper travels through the duplexer. I put paper in it and it would get stuck but idk if i was putting the paper in the right way.
Hello, after i power on the printer it shows error code 0x61011be5. I read online that it's the printerhead, is that true, should i order a new printerhead?
If you could help me out I'd sure appreciate it my trusty old C7250 stopped printing today. It acts like it's printing (head goes back and forth etc) but 'invisible ink'. Before I do a deep dive to try and rescue it - any suggestions??
Tell me more. Details. Any error messages ?
@@mrgcav no error messages - It acts just like it's printing - but blank pages come out. If I run test pages from the menu I can get color blocks but no black. If I run alignment it fails. Tried new black cartridge - no change
What's that best way to clean ...c1650 hp?...thanks
Hello, can you tell us hoe to do a factory reset on this printer? Mine the hp screen just keeps cycling off then back on, and the power button lights up like it's going to turn on but then it goes dark. Before this started happening I was getting a ink error message. Please help!
Still need help ?
Small that fell out would u know where it went from bottom of printer
At the 21:50
Hola buen día mi falla no detecta los cartuchos falta o está dañado
wow you're a beast! lol
Use a go pro it'll be less confusing cause the angle sucks
Thank you do much. I haven't tried GoPro yet. I'll try to get one asap.
Now tehere is alway someone who complains.... Great work, I'm in the progress of taking my c7280 (10 years old) apart. Found a broken gear at the back....
