Hi, I need to change the light bulb of my HP scanner and wanted to know where I could get a replacement bulb, if that is even possible.  I tried googling it, but didn't find any sites that sell replacement bulbs.  I don't really want to through the scanner/printer/copier away, if I can easily fix it.  It seems a waste.  If anyone could help me that would be great.  Thank you, Mariana

Hi,

A such cannot be purchased from a store, you need to send your printer to a local service center to replace such an internal  component..

Everyone forgets about the AC power adapter.
Gotta make certain the 3 prong plug that goes into the adapter box is pushed in all the way. Plug it into a wall socket that doesn't share any other load on it to test. I'd first suspect the problem is that the power adapter took a high voltage spike surge that weakened its components. Its not putting out the high wattage necessary to get that nice bright lamp glow. You can try to repair it or better just replace it. Power supplies are the work horses of all ac electronic devices and bear the most load and takes hits from the power line . Hence they're the first thing you should suspect with weak or no bulb light.
