Old HP LaserJet 4 in need of repair?

[maddog2020]

Any one know where I can get my old HP LaserJet 4 repaired? Not sure if it is really worth it anyway.

It comes up with " 52 error " on control display. If it comes on after attemping to warm up it sounds like a motor is running out of control and ready to blow up since its reving at light speed....lol.

I tried searchin the HP website for any ideas, but it tells me it needs to be serviced. :P

Fix it, or toss it?! Any help is appreciated.

Any suggestions for a new printer is appreciated.

TIA!

It's a toss up...

upto $200 brand new if you can find one

and you can get a used one on ebay for like $125 shipped..

If it were me i'd look into fixing it especially if you have extra cartridges laying around. just my 2 cents

Much thanks for the info leptar! I'll try to fix it first.

I have a new cartridge and the one that is in it has a lot left to it as well. I hate spending $ those dinky inkjet cartridges at almost $30 a pop.

I purchased the part (used off Ebay for $24 shipped) and installed it last nite. Printer is running like a charm now.

Much thanks again leptar! Send me a private message with an address and I'll send ya a gift.

Glad it's all working now... and for $24 bucks thats nice... hope you get a few more years out of it.
