Comment on Repair a broken HP LaserJet printer by baking it by Philip Newell (France)

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. You saved us buying a new printer! After baking the card as instructed, as soon as I reconnected the printer, the documents trapped in the spool came out instantly. It’s still working perfectly after 24 hrs – opposed to merely 5 minutes before the baking process! Wonderful!

Thank you. Bought HP M1522nf on Craiglist. Brought home, on for 1 minute and auto shut down. For this instruction, gave it a shot. It works like a champ. Thanks alot

I confirm it works! 200 C for 8 mins. Mine had no battery (I guess the battery is for the printer with a fax).
To “pop off” the side panel was a little challenge. Otherwise it can be done in 8 mins baking + 20 mins cooling + 5 mins mounting/unmounting.

Thanks a lot for your clear description and for the fun to succeed with the reparation.

One of the things I love about the internet is the ability to find any recipe that you want. Not as tasty as most, but very satisfying. Difficulty was harder than spanish omelette, easier than meringues. My previously misbehaving printer has been working fine today, thank you very much for taking the time to help.

HP replaced the board twice under warranty – I bought a new printer and needed the scanner from this so tried this fix. Worked 100% as expected. NOTE: if the capacitors swell towards the end of the baking dont worry – they will shrink back once cooled.
Thanks for the help.

i realise this is a bit late onward and it will have gone now but i fixed it just by going to a repair shop and that took about a month.

Well, not sure how long it will work, but after running the process the printer fired right up. Thanks for putting together a terrific set of instructions. I have two convection ovens so I set one on 250F and one at 400F. Then I preheated the board for 1 minute at 250F then moved it into 400F for 7 minutes, then back into 250F for another minute. This is the best I could do to pre-heat – reflow – cool down the board. We’ll see how it goes. If you ever come to Southern California I owe you a glass of wine!

Same here.
I put it in the oven on bake for 8 mins at 190.
result – printer now working.

I am thankful for the saving, and am wondering, why when i lodged a call to HP that they said that only a qualified service technician could perform the logic board update..
The only setting that seems to have been lost in the date/time when i removed the battery.

Other than that, as soon as i re-connected the printer to the network, docs started spooling.
awesome thanks.
