Thanks for reading.

My first thought was, 'use a bigger hammer'. Then, have you checked EwwToob? (I haven't.)

Sorry, I'm done for the day and am trying to wind-down. Seven hours/day is enough.

Cheers,
Paul.

Hi! Ed,

I have a Epson NX430 all in one printer/scanner.

I had a quick sticky-beak at Uncle Google & YT. It's general layout is similar to my Canon MX320. You're lucky though, as the top cover on
the Canon has the 'front panel electronic doo-hickeys embedded in it - it's a heavy sucker to lift gently.

I hadn't thought of seeing if YT had any help there for RE-inserting the Document Cover on a Epson NX430.
YT might be of help sometimes, but I haven't thought looking there. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

The NX430 Manual doesn't have any information about replacing the
Document Cover.

I didn't see anything on-line either but I'm thinking: think back to
when you whipped the cover off... did you maybe do it at a low angle? Maybe it fits in/on at a slight angle or within a certain allowable
range. Do you remember how you did it on the day? Might help...?

Thanks Again for taking the effort for me.

I have tried to replace it at different angles.

Both Hinges have pins on both ends of them.
I will take a look at it with a magnifying glass and see if there is a
Guide to help correctly place the Document Cover Hinges back into the unit.

Haste makes waste. But of course, I haven't hurried doing that job.
As Bugs Bunny (I think) said: "Be very very careful".
Or was that Daffy Duck saying that? HUMMMM?

I know from my past mess ups not to get in a rush when I try fixing
anything. Been there, done that. <G R I N>

A long tme ago I raised the Document Cover to Scan something and the
Cover came off of the unit.

You may not find replacement hinges or parts easily for these
all-in-one printers. These printers are made so cheaply that you may
find its better just to find a replacement NX430 on Ebay if you really like that printer model.

I see a complete NX430 going for roughly $70cdn plus shipping.

The plastic Hinges on the back of the Document Cover aren't broken, I just can't figure out how to replace that thing.

Thanks!, 73 de Ed W9ODR . .

Hi! Ed,

On 20 May 20 21:46, you wrote to me:

I had a thought this afternoon: start inserting with the other end.
The end you've connected might be engineered to fit after the other
end. Mmm...?

I have tried several different angles to get it back in correctly but still fail.

I guess I just haven't held my mouth right (as a Pool Player does) to do the job correctly.

Thanks!

Is that the really old dot matrix printer? The last time I used one was back in 1990. .

No, the model name is Epson Stylus FX430, it is an AIO Ink Jet Printer-Scanner.
