Samsung SF-5100 Plain Paper Laser Fax - Page 9 Questions & Answers
Please help. I have a Samsung CLP-365 toner printer.
Suddenly won’t feed paper, I’ve changed the little rubber grip but realise now that the entire arm is not spinning. The little coggs at the end are not meeting the large spinning cog.
Is that the issue? How would that have happened? Any fixes?
Thank you
There are a few possible reasons why the arm is not spinning or engaging with the large cog:
- Gear Misalignment: The gears might have become misaligned, which is preventing the arm from rotating properly. This can happen due to wear and tear, or if the printer experienced any force or impact.
- Gear Damage: One or more of the gears may be damaged, causing the connection between the arm and the large cog to fail.
- Mechanical Issue: There could be a mechanical problem within the printer that is preventing the arm from moving correctly.
To troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue, follow these steps:
- Inspect Gears: Open up the printer cover and look for any visible signs of damage or misalignment in the gears. If you notice any issues, try to reposition or replace the affected gears.
- Lubrication: If the gears seem stiff or difficult to move, you can try applying a small amount of lubricant suitable for printers. Be cautious not to use excessive lubricant as it might attract dust and debris, causing more problems.
- Clean the Printer: Dust and debris can also cause issues with the printer's mechanism. Gently clean the interior of the printer, especially around the gears, with compressed air or a soft brush.
- Verify Components: Ensure that all printer components, including the arm, are securely in place and properly seated. If something is loose or out of alignment, try repositioning and securing it
My Samsung SL50 digital camera will not turn on, it is fully charged. I want it fixed, How?
What do you mean by ' brand new'? If it is less that a year old it may still be covered by a warranty so go back to the store you bought it from and see what they can do. How long is it since you last used it? If you've haven't used it for a few months a battery can get 'old' and struggle to hold a charge even if the display says it's fully charged. Did you store it with the battery still in it? This can flatten the battery faster and in some cases cause issues when trying to recharge it.
Do you get anything when you try to power it on or is it "dead"?
You could consider buying a second battery and trying that. I think they are reasonably cheap (around £15) including the original Samsung brand battery. This would give you a spare to use as well.
Try removing the battery from the camera and checking it looks OK. Using a DRY Q tip (cotton bud) clean the battery contacts and CAREFULLY clean the ones inside the camera as well. They should be clean and shiny, no dust, dirt or fluff covering them. Making sure it is the correct way around refit the battery and retry to turn it on. I think these batteries are shaped so they will only go in all the way one way around.
