I have a laserjet 8000 that is making a screaching noise. I replaced the toner cartridge about 3 weeks ago and that cleared the screaching noise but a clicking noise remainied. Today i got a call again on the device and it is screaching again.

The call is with a very high maintenance customer so I would like to solve this issue as quickly as possible. like yesterday... but seriously... the screaching can get a band-aid easily what I would like to do is isolate and eliminate the clicking noise that I feel may be the contributing factor in the toner cartridges wearing out too quickly and leading to the screaching noise!

Any help would be awesome.

BTW the noise comes from the rear right side of the device about 6-10 inches from the top and about 6-10 inches in from the right side.

Upon further investigation... and dismantling of the device, it appears that the fuser has gone south.
The gears are chewed off in two spots.

Problem solved.

Don't forget to check the gears that are driving the fuser gears. They gotta be in bad shape too.
