loud squeaking noise and failure to initialize or print

examinerman · ‎01-17-2023

HP Color Laser Jet CP2025dn used to initialize normally, but would squeak loudly and then fail to print. After several tries, it now Squeaks loudly while trying to initialize and then fails to initialize. It gives a 51.23 error. Recently, it squeaked loudly for just a brief moment, initialized successfully I'm thinking it might be a fuzer of fuzer feed system.

51 errors are related to the laser scanner which writes images to the drums on the cartridges. If it is making noise then likely the motor is seizing up. Some people have been successful in opening the laser scanner and lubing the motor, but expect to spend some time doing that as you need to disassemble the printer quite a bit to gain access.
