Hi all,
Its a bit of hair pulling and desperation
I have had my printer for approx 22months so out of warranty. Its decided to not switch on!
Have done the usual checks, fuse, cable even removed the power supply and its showing some voltage so it appears to be Ok.
Telephoned Canon service centre and they say its 99% the Logic Board.
By the time I get it to them in Woking the repair costs fall around £300 based on replacement part,labour,transport costs and potentially throwing away a recently changed set of inks! So have decided to get a new one from J. Lewis cos they include a 2 year warranty as against WEX who only offer 1year.
Anyway now to the question How can I get the ink carts out of the now defunk printer? With no power at all the carriage is parked on the right side and no amount of prodding and pulling it will not move. So short of getting a hacksaw to the case I am stumped.
Canon do not and will not supply a service manual so I is stuffed.
Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received.
Apologies for the rant.
