 | hp officejet g85 where does spring go? by crtr (11/3/09 2:23 PM) reply | + / - | Since I had taken the g85 printer apart so many times, with the help of your forum, I thought I had it memorized... until I found the spring on the floor and now I am drawing a blank on how to re-attach it.
I am fairly certain that this particular spring is used to tighten the toothed belt that moves the scanner box. can anyone tell me exactly where this spring re-attaches? I wish I had taken a digital photograph... there is a small place to clip on one end, if someone can tell me where the other end of the spring goes.
thanks

That doesn't sound like what you are referring to. Click on the crossed tools to the right of my name and email me a photo.

if the spring is for tightening the scanner belt, i'm fairly certain your scanner is not going to move properly without it.
is the machine working properly?

doctuh emailed some pictures that perfectly locate the spring. I dont see a way upload them here so I emailed them to you for future reference for someone else who may need them.
thanks
