site said 'lever arm of cover sensor has fallen off'. AHA! with the scanner part taken off the top, and the grayish plastic bit unscrewed and popped off, there is a white nylon lever arm that should be seen sticking up thru a rectangular hole...roughly about 1/2" to the right of the printhead behind it. This lever arm clips onto a microswitch/sensor (the lid switch). I just popped the white nylon bit back on and presto, it's fixed. Mine had popped off and was way deep down in the bowels of the printer.This sensor is mounted on the circuit board about midway across, and you can see it if you look straight http://support.lexmark.com/index?userlocale=EN_UK&locale=EN&page=content&segment=SUPPORT&productCode=LEXMARK_X3480DSG&id=SO2602 down, through the hole in the black plastic shrouding that covers the circuit board. It might be possible to snap the part back on without partial disassembly, or simply shove something in there to hold the sensor in the 'closed' possition (If you lose a finger or two using this method, don't blame me).

Why on earth no one uses the site search engine is beyond me! If a woman with her little boy can do it, I would think anyone can.

Thanks a million for your detailed instructions. I looked everywhere for a switch of some sort, in all the wrong places of course. Just wanted to let you know that I was able to solve that problem also. Of course, the little "rod" on the inside of the lever arm broke off...so I taped it (duct tape of course) to close the switch and voila it works. You have to pull the cartridge manually to change but at least it prints. Well, thanks again to Rob M!!! by Anonymous on Aug 7, 2007 at 5:11pm Add comment Please sign in to comment 0 Thank you so much Rob for sharing your solution, I was getting fed up trying to figure out what was going on with my printer!!Thanks to you , It ended up being easier than I thought,It took me less than 20 min and I didn't break anything!!

There is a little sensor "arm", most likely at the back left hand side of the printer. You'll see it when you open up the cover. You'll need to completely remove the cover to get at it effectively. Push the arms of the cover inwards/outwards (I can't remember) to lift it off. You may also need to disconnect some wiring (just remember where it came from etc). Then, you'll be able to fully get at the little arm that has gotten stuck! It may be as simple as pushing it forward into the proper position, OR it may have dislodged... which will require more work. In which case it's probably better to take it to someone who can fix it. Of course, saying that, if you didn't pay too much for your printer you may as well buy a new one because the service to fix it for you will probably cost more than the printer!

You will see a PCB at the back of the printer, in the middle is a pop out black switch which should have a bit of plastic attached. The plastic bit will have fallen off and will need popping back on.Some usefull pics on this sitehttp://www.fixya.com...k_x3480_printerSeems to be a very common problem Back to top Back to Printer Support Reply to quoted postsClear UKT Support - Message Board → Technical Support → Printer Support Privacy Policy Help Community Forum Software by IP.Board Sign In Need an account?
