Hi Bentley,

This is great information. However, after removing the 2 screws from the back of the right panal, I am unable to slide the panel out. It's as if there are other screws that are needed to be removed.

Is there something else I should attempt to do to make the panel slide out, without breaking the clips inside the right panel?

Thanks.

Never mind, I got it opened. I successfully unlocked the print head.

Thanks for the instructions.

Hello,
you can easily unlock the head yourself, it will take you 10 minutes.
the removal of the right side panel will take the most of your time, it's not very easy to lift up the panel to slide the panel out. (see the pictures in my topic )
I hope you can successfully unlock the head.
Have a nice day
Yves
