HP Laser Jet pro CM 1415fnw printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Laser Jet pro CM 1415fnw printer.  The ADF simply stopped working.  Right before it stopped it gave the following  message:  "Document feeder Mispick " and made a sound like it wasn't picking up the paper.  Followed advice  on this forum for cleaning.  Now it doesn't make a sound or do anything.  The bed will scan and copy but not the ADF.  Please, I need help as I do not have the money to buy a printer.  

Thank You,

Cme

There's a FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) connects formatter(-the one which USB cable pluged into) and ADF motor.

Don't know why it's got broken easily and needed to be replaced.

 

Open top cover ane see througt the glass there're two brown colored cables it is the narrow one.

Yoy need to take right cover off (one screw on the middle bottom side of the cover) on the top side of the formatter the narrow brown colored FFC is the one.

It is going from here throuhg bottom side of the glass to the laft brhind of glass and from where going up to the ADF motor connector which covered under a little black colored cap. Take the black cap off and the end side of the FFC cable is there.

Replace this FFC cable and all will be fine.

You will have to take 8 star screws off to take the glass off to get the job done.

It's not hard to do that but you need to buy an new one first.
Don't know if you can get it from eBay or not I bought it from Taobao of China.
