[QUOTE="Jim in Phoenix, post: 207901, member: 9004"] My daughter just gave me her printer (page count:1,200) because of noise issue. It only makes the loud popping noise when it goes thru it's power-up sequence. I filmed the fuser gear mesh when it happens & it looks like the brown fuser roller is jumping teeth that meshes with the white gear (red arrow). The whole fuser assembly (red box) jumps up & down. From my technical background (HP Series II repair tech), I would guess that there is too much rolling resistance in the fuser. I think fuser runs faster during power-up sequence compared to regular printing; that maybe the reason for only making noise then. The surface of pressure roller in fuser doesn't look right, but pics I could find on web look similar (see 2nd pic). I have removed fuser & can't find anything wrong. Any ideas other than TRYING a $300 fuser? [ATTACH=full]438[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]439[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
