How to take apart Canon Pixma MG5520 printer - Disassemble

[@jonviol]

What an astonishingly mad design ! How do makers think up how to design stuff so crazy then get each piece manufactured.Beyond me these Japan brains .Great video .

[@303electronics]

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback. Have a good day!

[@รัฐภูมิอยู่สุข]

*Great **Bestt.Digital** printer, easy to setup and use. Looking forward to seeing how long the ink lasts.*

Thanks for posting, very helpful

[@whiskeysquiker]

youre a gentleman and a scholar. I appreciate this. Dang thing hasn't grabbed paper since about 6 months after getting it and now the head is fussing but I couldn't get it out like the pixma pro 9000. Didn't want to strip it down just yet like I did the other one, etiher, though I will when I order the rubber wheel cleaning stuff in a couple months when I strip down my reel to reel, but the heaad's getting an alcohol bath today! You da man!

[@TheKikalouka]

Thank you so much ❤️ it helped me repair the printer at home !

[@klausbecker7]

Thanks for sharing this video. I changed the mainboard unit together with the scanner unit between two MG 5750 printers and it worked perfectly.

[@MrRofl131]

You got the like for your video anyway. But where do I find the waste ink absorber in this printer? Can it be cleaned or does in need to replaced? I did clean the printer head many many times and it is still alive, but now it is complaining about the ink absorber error code 1700.

[@303electronics]

Thank you very much for the like! The ink absober pads are located on the back far right corner of the printer. It is not easy to get to. You can see it at minute 12:30 in this video. The error will stay even if you replace or clean the pads, so i would just buy a reset online which costs about $10. That reset utility will reset your ink absorber pad count to zero. You may google for it. I do not have a specific website in mind. here's a link to a video from which you may be able to get an idea of how that works. I am not in any way affiliated with them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYeudnpsm7F6r6M After about 100 pages or so, your printer will give you a 5B00 error, which will just not let you use the printer until the waste pads are reset. Please let me know how that works and what site you used so it can be helpful for others in need.

[@ForestRaptor]

Honestly, this is a great step by step to disassembling this infernal machine XD However, after taking half of it apart I just couldn't wrap my head around why the print kept giving "cover is open" messages and reseting whatever action I had taken. (sometimes just touching the Operational Panel gets it going through "cover is open" cycle before going back to standby).... I put the tray and cover back with difficulty but it's still working, though the "Cover is Open" keeps popping up all the time.... I know this is something that was posted 2 years ago almost, but if anybody has had any type of experience with this type of issue, it might help me to solve (my initial thought was a contact issue with the Operational Panel's closed contact sensor... but I don't even know if I saw it....)

[@schooladministrator2807]

I need a Dr for my Canon MG 5220! I've done the "hold the stop button, then power button. Then press the stop button 5 times"...etc. I have removed the ink absorbers, cleaned and replaced them and it still has an error code 5B00. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time and attention.

[@egeach4614]

Hi can only the sides be removed on a mg5751 as i need to check the absorber box.?

[@303electronics]

Unfortunately to get access to ink waste tank, you need to lift the top portion if printer cover.

Can you make how to take apart cannon pixma MG2500 series printer and what is the issue of not powering on at all

[@303electronics]

Absolutely! I actually have a similar model which I can use. I will try to make a video and upload later today.

[@Xanderarciaga454]

[@303electronics]

@@Xanderarciaga454 yes, I believe I have mg2922 which is also similar.

[@303electronics]

Hi. I finally was able to get the printer and make a video. I hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJnIkmdmmMiegcU Worst case can be a bad board or bad pwoer supply.

[@keithcharnesky1351]

After removing the one "special head" screw, how does the power supply on my MG5520 come apart? Plastic clips, I'm sure, but how many and where? -Thanks, Keith

[@nevfs08]

Hello ! I have the same printer and im getting the 1303 error stuck paper, but there is no paper stuck inside and im losing my freaking mind, is there a fix for this issue ?

[@303electronics]

Hello, I'm sorry you're having trouble with your printer. Check this video out. It may help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5-1fqmGfq-DY5osi=Ml4TtcjT6HSu345g

[@geeto80]

My printer samsung ML 1660 not power on , what should be repairable power supply or formatting board

[@2008pomsin]

Sir, why don't you do complete disassemble and reassemble Canon g3000 printer to replace the ink absorber under rollers and also to clean all parts properly.

[@deadpoolcrypto]

Hey bro i have the same exact printer.The power won't turn on, I already cleaned took out the print head prior and cleaned it with alcohol, but now its LOCKED on the right side and won't turn on... How do I get the print head to unlock when the power is off? I appreciate any advice you have or trouble shooting. I thought I got it fixed because the b200 error stopped and I was gonna print a test page. Then while it was printing nozzle test page, it just turned off and never turned on again. Thanks!

[@303electronics]

There is a locking mechanism on the right side. Your power supply or main board is bad most likely.

[@deadpoolcrypto]

@@303electronicsHey! Thx for much for replying man! I managed to get the printer to turn back on by getting the printhead unlocked from the right side and then removing the cartridges. However firstly I keep getting, "install printer head 1401" error then I remove the print head and put it back on repeatedly, and then it gives me a b200 error. I tried to turn off the printer and repeat but no luck so far, still getting either bp200 or the 1401 error (tried doing it with print cartridges in and out, as well as printer head in and out) turning the printer on and off... I tried using compressed air with a alcohol swap stick to clean the inside of the print head pins input/output component too. Maybe I wash the printhead again with water/ soak it with alchohol to get any remaining ink out again? Any ideas or potential tricks that might work? I appreciate your help. Thanks!

[@303electronics]

@@deadpoolcrypto Seems like the problem is with the printhead. It's what caused your printer to black out probably. Replacing a printhead is the only option I think in your printer's case.

[@deadpoolcrypto]

@@303electronics okay thanks for the reply , do they still make the printheads for this exact print u have on the video? It only blacked out once when I tried to open and close the cover while the printer restarted to force it to go to the settings screen. Then when i tried to print a test page it shut off. I could try to replicate it again and see.

[@barbarayoung7635]

Just a question Canon MG5720 The printer hit the floor during a move and now I can not get rid of the message "close the cover" Getting left side reset was no problem but I don't know what is disconnected on the right side so that side does not line up. Does anyone have a description or a schematic showing the printer line up?

[@nyguenmrieo4300]

Hello apperently there is some paper stuck on the right side of the printer where the ink stuff is at and the ink box is stuck as well and i cant get the paper out. Can i just disassemble the side of the printer to fix it??

[@303electronics]

Yes, remove the side and you may get easier access to that paper. Use tweezers to remove paper. Should be just two screws on the back.

[@nyguenmrieo4300]

@@303electronics thank so much you just saved me😭😭😭

[@rossuchida3459]

This is excellent. I was about to throw away my printer, but you saved me (you really have to pull hard to get those sides off). Is there an easy way to change the absorber pads without disassembling everything?

[@303electronics]

Hi. Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately getting to the pads box is only through top. A bit of labor.

[@shshnk]

Hi, great video. I came accross this video looking to take apart MG6350, unfortunately they are very different, but I did get the general idea. I do have a question: have you worked out any ways to reuse the components like the touch screen or any of the sensors or motors in a DIY setting?

[@boubekeurchikr5781]

Thank You Bro

[@303electronics]

You're welcome! Have a great evening!

[@keithcharnesky1351]

Hi - nice video!. My MG5520 had the EXACT same problems as DeadpoolCrypto's, except mine is now completely dead. Everything was semi-fine using the color ok/ PGBK lousy printhead. It was when I installed the NEW pinthead, which gave me the B200 code, etc.. I'm thinking the power supply is bad. Is there a way to test it? I'm an electronic tech. Is there a way to take it apart? Thanks, Keith

[@303electronics]

It can be one of the three or all, the power supply unit, logic board, or printhead. Take the printhead out and try powering the printer.

[@keithcharnesky1351]

@@303electronics Been there, done that. No good. I have the "custom" screw out of the p/s, but I can't figure out how it "clips" together to take it apart. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@elucier9]

I’m having the same problem. I disassembled the printer and then reassembled it. Now the printer won’t turn on. I need help.

[@shalanneking2566]

How do I print from no HP envy 360 laptop to the pixma canon MG5520 printer

[@303electronics]

You will need to search for Canon Print app on the app store or download a 'Canon MG5520 printer driver" to your laptop. I'm not sure which operating system you have on your PC

[@FlabberQuestion]

Any idea how to fix the error 1403 even after removing the printhead? It should change to error 1401 since the head is removed. So the printer is not aware of the removal. Flat cable issue?

[@303electronics]

Restart the printer, see if it goes away. Usually 1401 error is due to bad cartridge chip

[@HWWoodard]

Hi and thanks for this helpful video. I'm gonna try replacing the print carriage on my iP7220. I got everything I need from your video except for how to unplug the ribbon cables. Do they just press in or is there a clip of some sort on the receptacle that I have to open or slide back? I don't want to get this close and then fail because of a self-inflicted injury. Thanks in advance for your response.

[@glennlong376]

Where do I look to find out what kind of Canon printer I have.? where do I look to get a power cable for this printer.?

[@303electronics]

Hi. The printer model is usually on the front of the printer, by the control panel or screen. Sometimes on the front tray. You may need to close the tray to find it there. Power supply model can be found on the power supply itself. There is a number that starts with "K" followed by 5 digits. For example K30314". There is another 7 digit part number which starts with "Q" and follows this format "Qxx-xxxx"

[@xelatdoski1472]

my printer is MG5550 canť work could you help me?

[@2008pomsin]

I have seen other videos of Canon G3000 printer but they are incomplete. No one from service center does this infront of eyes, hence I do not trust them as they mislead and refrain from cleaning other parts.

[@dr.-ing.andreaskeibel3722]

And now put it back together. 🤣

[@PanamaVibes]

Nice video although I was hoping to salvage useful parts of this paperweight, thinks like DC motors, etc. the printer is a useless product designed to be rendered 100% useless for a printhead error that has nothing to do with scanning.

[@303electronics]

Great point!
