Reach into the mouth of the printer and press on the small clip behind the power button. This allows the panel of the power button to be removed.
A picture of the power button panel removed is provided to show the location of the clip that needs to be pressed.
After pressing the clip, pull out the power button panel by pulling from right to left.

Step 6

Remove the exposed screw that was covered by the power button panel.
Do not try and torque the screw from an angle. This will ruin the screw’s head, and make it even more difficult to remove the screw. Only remove it as already described.
This screw is placed awkwardly. We found holding a T9 bit in a pair of needle nose pliers gave us enough leverage to pull it up.

Step 7

This step is easier with two people. Carefully have one person lift the hood of the printer 2-3 inches above where it was resting.
Remove the ribbon cables and wires attaching the motherboard (the only green PCB board) to the hood by gently pulling upward on them.
When all three cables are removed, lift the hood away from the printer and set it aside.

Thanks for this guide. I never would have found that fourth screw without this guide. The illustration of the “clip” for removal of the power quadrant face could have been more detailed and/or you could have said in the description, “Feel for the TAB on the right center of the power button quadrant behind the “cartridge door open” feeler and push it toward the outside of the printer”. Other than that, this was great.

Thanks Guys

Thank you for posting this. In place of the pliers, I recommend using a small reversible ratchet offset (mine was 3-1/4"W x 6-3/4"L x 1/2"H) to remove the 4th screw. It won’t slide of the screw like pliers and will make both the removal and replacement much easier.
