New Part Required - rear door Laserjet Pro 200

[Frattoniser]

Hi all, getting the dreaded "Rear Door Open" messaage on my Laserjet Pro 200 m275nw and found that the pin on the white nylon latch has finally snapped and disappeared. I need to buy a new part but cannot find anyhwere that sells them, has anybody got any ideas?

I'd prefer to keep it in the UK as costs will be an issue, but accept I might have to shop overseas. Tried looking on Google but that's about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike! Photo attached to show the part, can't even find a part number...

Have you tried the HP Parts Store? Sometimes a small part is only available as part of a larger assembly, such as a compete back door.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I tried them but as you say it’s going to be a complete assembly which I find infuriating considering the amount of plastic waste it’ll produce. A whole back door assembly for such an incredibly small part by comparison is ludicrous and I feel HP really should be more responsible for the waste they create.

if I can’t find one then I’ll have to see if I can bypass the infra red switch, I am not going to spend over £120 for a small part that would probably cost around a hundredth if that to produce.

I've managed to get hold of a second hand m276n instead, works perfectly so will be using that, though it isn't wireless but that's no issue. I can use the other for spares now.
