Title
HP Officejet 5740 Disassembly
Introduction
Procedure to disassemble HP Officejet 5740 printer

I wrote this down as much for me as anybody else. Kind of like bread crumbs in the forest. It helps to not forget a step.
I found nothing on the net on disassembling or repairing this machine.
My wife had noticed that the printer sounded like it was laboring. Gear noise. I have had a number of printers apart. Every time I do I am amazed at how increasingly flimsy they are getting. When I did get it down to the chassis the shaft with the large paper feed rolls seemed to be misaligned. I tweeked it over so it didn't rub. On reassembly, voila gear noise seemed to be gone. Fingers crossed it works better than before.

I have no pictures. You'll have to use your imagination

  • #10 Torx driver, needle nose pliers, small flat blade screw driver, small flashlight, clean workspace, a vertical support at the back of the work area. There are smaller torx head screws on the inside of the machine but I am not getting into it that deep x1 added.
