This blog suggests replacing it is likely outside the ability of amateur repair. HP CP3525 - 59.F0 Part 2Originally Posted by theengel
I haven't found anything that explains what that process it. The only (English) video I found was the one I used to take it apart to replace the solenoid.The big part of the job is taking off (and realigning) the main drive assembly. HUGE headache.
I wish I had a spare transfer belt to swap in to rule that out. Any suggestions on testing the TB? If I turn the big gear, the belt moves. If I turn the little white thing, some stuff happens inside but unsure what is supposed to happen.
Everything needed by a professional tech is in the service manual, including how to re-time the main drive.
If your not a professional tech, do not attempt. It's not an amateur job.
ditto that
If you can't find it in the manual, you shouldn't do it.
It's actually not THAT big of a deal. Aligning the gears is explained in the manual. The bigger headache is wiggling the main drive into place again without losing the timing you just set.
Thanks for the replies. It looks like this unit is destined to the recycler.
Update: I fixed it.
thanks for the guidance.
What was the fix?
FYI.........
Just tried ordering a simplex fuser drive assembly and below is what I got back from my event from HP:
Hello Gentle,
In regards to your request
I’m reaching you in regards Event# Part# RM1-5001-030CN is obsolete without replacement and it will be removed from the event.
Wow.
I had ordered one of these 'refurbed' from a company, and the solenoid on it had not been touched. Not repadded or replaced or anything.
