Anyone know of a place I can take it to get fixed? It’s almost new and the problem is minor. I once knew of a shop in Hyde
Park, but I have forgotten exactly where. I live in the Chicago area, so Chicago Yahoo folks please HELP!
I am talking about the plastic strip that gos horizontally across the the machine. When I turn it on it just slams to the other side with a loud bam!
I understand that, but it is more than a printer, it is also a fax machine and copier. I have several printers, and that’s all THEY DO, I wanted this one fixed cause it does it all. Thanks anyway for your answers.

Contact dell, if it is still under warranty they may replace it.
There are not many people who repair printers, and generally the repair cost is greater than the value of the printer.

The part you are describing is the carraige timing strip. Look on the ends of the strip, it should have a square hole on each end. If it does you can reattach it by using a flashlight and forceps. If the hole is not there then the timing strip is damaged and your machine is now a large paper weight. Look for copier/printer repair in the yellowpages, I am sure there is someone in the Chicago area who will come out and look at the machine.
