Lexmark X3480 Cover Open Error
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 canon printer cover is open error and popped off, there is a white nylon lever arm that should be seen the printer's cover is open brother sticking up thru a rectangular hole...roughly about 1/2" to the right of the printhead behind it. This lever arm clips onto lexmark printer 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 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).

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

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 http://www.justanswer.com/printers/3e7he-lexmark-x3480-insists-it-s-cover-open-when-isn-t.html on.
