This is a Canon Pixma MG2520 printer disassembly video. This printer is very easy to maintain and clean. First portion of the video shoes how to access the printer to remove jams and clean inside when the front little access door is not enough access. We remove the top portion and show how to put it back. After we do that, we show how to remove all parts from the printer so you can get an idea how easy or difficult it is to do before you start a repair or cleaning project on your Canon printer.

This video was a big help. I'd never have figured out to pop the scanner off on the right side on my own. One thing I would like to add is that when reconnecting the scanner it will be simpler to attach it first and then hook the cables to the board through the open control panel, rather than trying to reach under the scanner while holding it open.

I had the 'paper jam' code, but could find no jam. There was a white nylon drive gear for the path feed that had not completed its cycle. I spun the gear a couple of teeth to manually complete the page feed cycle. The yellow warning light stopped blinking & the printer came back to life. Thanks for this tutorial.

@michaelcardona7397 Год назад

I have the very same problem, it's really a VERY GOOD printer, inexpensive, low cost maintenance on the ink, I'v had my now going on 4+ years, i'll try the gear rotation thing; i was hoping the video would have covered this issue but, your answer is easy to follow; I had (2) HP Laser printers and the cost alone of the ink cartridges was astronomical, they dry up and clog the cartridges head and no matter what you did, you would always end up with "printer head" problems. Bought this at Walmart on special for about $40.00 and it's the BEST $40.00 Investment I'v ever made. Thanks.

Are you in the Denver area? I'm getting an 0xF1 error on my Epson WF 3520 and could use some help.

@randyc8171 Год назад

I have one of these. It makes one or multiple loud banging noises after turned on and before it starts to print. It has done that since new. It only prints about 20 pages on one black cartridge and the color cartridge runs out before the second black cartridge does. So it loves to drink ink.

@d4him693 3 месяца назад

there is a way to silence that loud noise in the printer section. I'm not a tech person but found it very helpful.

@yoboymoi Месяц назад

This exact model printer feeds paper about 2 inches then stops but the printer still thinks the paper fed through and prints. There's no error code and it completes the print without the paper feeding. The only clue I have is the paper gets a small crumble in the center of the feeding side but otherwise I opened it and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary I'm stumped with this one.

@303electronics Месяц назад

Hi. There most likely is a tiny piece of plastic or clip in the area where the paper gets damage. Try feeding card paper through the paper path, but from the front. You may be able to push something out.

Tytyty that timing strip came off n pulled out wish didn't think can fix now see there's a spring n was wondering y not reaching the end tabs and see which way up with the L n dot marks way to reinstall now tytyty had to pause n zoom in but was able to see

@@JustTurned60 That's not helpful. Some people have conditions like Dyslexia. Be kind.

@JsmnSilvas Год назад

That long white part that holds the rollers in front of where the paper usually sits won’t stay where it should. It’s flush against the back when there should be a bit of space for the paper. And I have no idea how to fix it. It was fine before I opened it up to get a piece a plastic that had fallen inside. Did I loose a part? Is there somewhere that it connects that I’m just not seeing?

@303electronics Год назад

I'm sorry there is a problem with your printer. Try removing the part that you took off and make sure to put it back without any force. I'm trying to understand exactly the area if the issue and can't figure it out.

@JsmnSilvas Год назад

I had removed and put it back together it several times, but nothing seemed to work. Luckily my sister has the same printer so she let me open hers up and I found the problem. The small white part by the spring wasn’t holding the rest of it in place because the part that’s supposed to keep that piece from just falling back got flipped up. I was able to push it back into the right position and now it works again.

great video but how do I reset the purge counter [that might be the wrong name, and change the waste ink nappy?

@303electronics Год назад

Thanks. I do not know how to reset the ink waste counter on this model. If I find a solution, I will let you know.

How do you clean the ink absorber pads

@droiduseruserdroid1731 6 месяцев назад

They are on the right hand side and are tricky to remove and clean. Doing so will also not eliminate the error code as it is set through the firmware permanently after a certain number of prints. I am researching if simply replacing the control board will eliminate the error warning.

@michaelcardona7397 Год назад

The video is good, simple to follow and easy; i was hoping you would cover the paper jamming, but Waldo Wrench provided a quick re-coop which I tried while viewing your video, i'll find out if it works for me soon.

hi. Iam having problems with error code 5B00...Doing hard reset hasent done anything. Printer keeps blinking from green to orange leds after coming on...Any pointers?

@303electronics 2 месяца назад

The problem is with ink cartridges. Remove ink cartridges and check to make sure they do not have any dry or wet ink on the bottom or chip contact area. Usually, it's just one faulty cartridge that needs to be replaced.

@akenochampagnie6524 Год назад

Where does the spring goes that came from the scanner part

@galacticgufus Год назад

There is a spring under the power button (between the control panel and the board) that pops the button back up after you push it.

why does printer show ink well is full and do your clean

@droiduseruserdroid1731 6 месяцев назад

Where is the "ink absorber" located and how do you clean it?

@303electronics 6 месяцев назад

Hi. The ink absorber are the pads inside the printer, on this model, they are spread out on the bottom of the printer. Cleaning them or replacing will not remove the error on the printer. You will need to buy a reset code online to get rid of that error.

@droiduseruserdroid1731 6 месяцев назад

Thanks. Cleaned the absorber pads. Would replacing the control board bypass this error problem? Would not that be where the counter information is located (stored)? @@303electronics

@droiduseruserdroid1731 6 месяцев назад

@@303electronics Canon considers the MG2520 disposable, and they say the counter cannot be reset through the service menu. What do you mean "buy a code"? Googled it. Found nothing.

@RiverEngineer Год назад

Go back to around 4:35 and then go forward, at a slower speed, and at 4:36-4:39 look to the right of the printhead and the left of his hand hand you can see a Philips screw. Move the printhead to the left and remove the screw. That assembly will come straight up revealing the ink absorber. I still have not found an adequate substitute for the OEM pad nor have I quite figured out how the printer knows when that pad needs changing.
