    HP 3015 Clicking noise

    First time seeing this model, so looking for input.
    Printer is making a clicking noise when feeding from cassette. MP tray does not make any noise.
    Does not jam. Just the noise that sounds like a solenoid. I do have a manual but before I dig in and waste time thought maybe this was a common issue.
    150k prints.
    Seems to be paper feed assembly but not sure. No jams but noise is loud

    Early indications for the swing plate. Pull the fuser and observe the pile of white powder that used to be the fuser drive coupler gears. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          Cassettes and lift mech can be cracked. This makes a popping sound. Happens more so with a full tray of paper.

            I try to post a solution for any posts when resolved.
            THe clicking noise was the cassette 2 pickup solenoid.
            Spent alot of time on disassembly/reassembly
