  2. This is AMAZING. Thank you!!!! Saved me lugging a 75# printer to a repair shop (and $$$). For me, after about 40,000 pages, my fuser roller crapped out–the metal “finger” carved a big groove in the padded roller. One tip–there is a hinged lever flap thing on the right side of the right plastic black cap (step 6). I had an issue with the circuit wire getting in the way so when I reset the fuser, it would say “back cover open” because the wire kept the flap from falling in between a plastic slit that I think is a cover sensor. I moved the wire forward and it works perfectly now! Thank you again for this great resource!
