    MP980 - rattling sound on power up

    I've managed to remove the side panels and the scanner unit. I now have a much better view of the purge unit, but I don't see anything that could cause the sound and the error messages. I discovered a "fault" in the service manual though... In the ASF unit removal section the unit is shown with...

    Hi again! Still haven't got the time to perform the operation... But I have the opportunity to get my hands on some ip 4300 parts. I Googled for its service manual but without success. Does anyone have it? Or can anyone tell me if any ip 4300 parts (purge unit i.e) can be used for my MP980?

    MP980 - rattling sound on power up

    Hi everybody, My mp980 started to make a rattling sound when I turn it on. I spoke with a guy at an authorized service shop and he told me that theres nothing to be done but wait for the printer to "die" because the cost of repairing it is too high! Can I do something to save my printer...
