I gave checked all external reasons why printer does not come on. I would like to take it apart to check simple things like the switch. How do I take apart printer? It is not obvious.

Most of the smaller HP printers are considered disposable and therefore are mostly pressfit together with  interlocking plastic tabs. I checked on Feederoller.com and they do not even list a manual for the P1005 for sale and checking my HP dealer page shows no listing for a manual either. You could check Youtube, likely someone has made a take apart video for this model. 

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.

Thanks for responding so quickly,  Too bad it is considered "disposable" - it is a very  good printer, has given years of service.  So for want of a switch or fuse, it must be recycled or goes into a landfill.  HP is obviously more interested in selling printers than supporting them.  Funny that they do offer to "service" the printer out of warranty, but with that kind of press-fit construction, it would likely cost more in labor than the printer is worth.  Your suggestion of youtube is worthy - I hope some brave soul tackles the job.   A lot of P1005s out there.
