I took apart the printer - As I power it I can see that the drive shaft where the drive belt for the printhead carriage does not turn. Is it possible that the motor is dead? Or could this be due to the fact that the timing strip has some ink spots on the right that I cannot clean? Other parts move when I turn the printer on, even the purge unit, but not the belt.
