Cartridge door does not open

I have a Photosmart HP 5510 printer.  I need to replace the black ink cartridge.  I turned on the printer,

but for some reason, I am only able to open the printer a couple of inches.  I can't open the door completely

replace the cartridge.  When I lift on the door, he reads the door is open, but it does not allow me to open the door

completely.  It feels like it is locked and I don't want to force open.  This is the first time for me to change the

Ink cartridge.

If please advise me on what I can or should do.

Much appreciated,

John

I solved the problem myself.  When the power went off, I gave the coverage a bit of a tug and its opening.  I was able to

to replace my black ink cartridge.  I guess since the lid has been opened, that often, it was difficult to

Open.  I'm glad that this was not a problem of hinge.

  • my computer makes a plaintive sound, he has not done before and since then the cd door does not open, I close it out but still makes noise

    the noise is like a high-pitched moan

    Hello Boomer09,

    Thank you for your message.  This sounds like something is stuck in your CD/DVD.  Most of the models have a small hole at the front.  You can usually use a paperclip (or something of this size) to push through the hole and the drawer opens manually.  If it is stuck, you can open the drawer and eliminate the problem.  Otherwise, it could be a hardware failure and you will need to replace it.  You always have the possibility to open your computer and remove the power cables to your drive.  This will stop the sound, but you will not be able to use the drive.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • OfficeJet HP 5510 all-in-One - door locked - ink cartridge does not open.

    Windows XP Service Pak 3, HP 5510 Officejet, printer, USB connection.

    Won't let me open the ink cartridge door.  So, I can not install new ink cartridges.   It started about 3 weeks after I deleted some other software.   When I touch the door to open it, I get this flashing Error Message - "Door open, door close print cartridge."   (but door is not open, it is locked closed).   .   Printer will print documents correct, my problem is that I can't load new ink cartridges.  I could probably force and break on it to open it, but am afraid my printer does not work after that.  I love it and want to continue using it.

    Three times, on different occasions, I crossed the steps on your website to reset the printer.  They did not solve it.  I opened the back of the printer and looked for any paper jams and tips or debri.   I took can air and exploded all over where I could, but nothing came out.  I don't have a paper jam, when this started.

    Is there a code pin or something to get out, the door somewhere?

    If I force rotating door and breaks, the printer works?

    Problem started on December 14, 2010.

    Thank you

    Hello Oldlady10,

    The 5510 JO has a Center door that goes through the top on both sides. It is possible that the door warped a bit in the middle and create a barrier that will not the door opens without a lot of strength.

    Solution: Hold the door with both hands as you open the door, then take both thumbs and press down on the top of the door to repel the distorted area and then lift the pen access door.

    My CD door won't open.  Is there an eject button because it does not open when I press on it?

    Yes, there is.

    Look closely at the front of the CD tray. You should see a small hole, just large enough to insert a paperclip (fixing of paper in North America).

  • HP Pavilion Intel Core i3: HP Solution Center software does not open hp officejet pro 8500.

    I have a new windows 10 computers using my old HP Officejet Pro 8500. On the HP Solutions Center weedend more would not open, so I'm not able to scan. I deleted the software several times and reinstalled and still does not work Noah. I also installed HP Print and Scan doctor who gives me the following information: device detected error: cartridge or print head problem. "Please make sure that the ink cartidge (s) and Printhead (s) you use in your printer are good" (full message on the attachment). The scan works very well during the test through the printer scanner doctor app. But when I click the icon for the HP Solution Center, it does not open. No problem with printing. Ideas on that. And why the print cartridges affect the ability to use this software and this analysis?

  • defective disc - drawer does not open

    I could only download a disc because the door to the drawer does not open. When I try to open I can hear sounds as it tries to open but nothing happens.

    Do you know anyway I can open it through the computer or I'll have to go back to the door fixed?

    Hello bethbradley,

    This problem may occur if the CD/DVD drive is gone bad. I suggest that you try to eject the disk using by resetting the drive. You will find a small hole in the drawer of the DVD, you can insert a PIN to reset the player. This allows you to eject the disc. If it does not, I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your computer to check if the disc is damaged.

    Thank you

  • HP Color Laserjet 3600n: door does not close

    There seems to be something in the way that prevents the door from closing completely.  I switched all cartridges and transfer belt.  It seems there have broken anything inside.  Because the door does not close, it won't initialize.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you for your ideas, but he wasn't a cartridge problem.

    I hired an eyes of co-workers and she found a white tab in the upper left corner that hung down unlike our other 3600 s.  When he was pushed upward, all broken in the door completely closed.

  • CD drive does not open on the hard drive of the computer.

    Original title: on my hard drive DimensionE521 the CD-Rom drive does not open.  He starts to and then stops. The computer says it's OK? Help?

    I had this problem and another time after playing with him for days, all of a sudden it just opened.  There is nothing in the drive - I'm sure of.  Everyone has to experience this problem.

    Hello Nannytosix,

    If you look very close to the door of the CD player, you will probably see a small hole somewhere around him.

    What you need to do is unfold a paper clip and push it in the hole and it should open the CD drive manually.

    I encourage you to consult the manual to check this.

    Best regards

  • Final Cut Pro 10.2.3 does not open a library more!

    Hey! I could really use to understand this, a total mystery for help:

    This morning, I tried to open a library of Final Cut is saved on my hard drive. Last night, I worked with the library, but now it just opens up.

    It gives an error: Final Cut close unexpectedly

    It's just one that does not open it opens other libraries.

    Also, I tried to open it on another computer, but here it opens either.

    I tried Trashing FCP to the preferences Manager, made a first aid attendant, but it seems that the problem is in THE LIBRARY not in the program.

    In addition, NONE of the backups open.

    Any ideas? ;)

    Thank you!!

    Try to open the library of most recent backup.

    By default, they are stored in Final Cut backups in the folder sequences.
