How to fix an HP Printer using Oxy-Acetylene

[miguel2600]

Why did you waste the fire extinguisher... It wasn't done yet

[tazz1329]

That is bad for the environment :( :( Dont buy used printer it would of worked if you put two quarter stick in it and it would of look a lot cooler too. lol

[RandomEskimo42]

Now that's modern art.

[patk570]

One Art Please!

[samurail337]

>and to replace the fire extinguisher

Y U NO BUCKET OF WATER?

[playgroundchooser]

An HP that is now worth something!

BTW Your Bender Brewer is AWESOME!! You, Good Sir, are a wizard.

[flooflox]

Bet it STILL works better than mine. ;-0

[Wilwarin]

Why the hell is this age-restricted? 

[toboe399]

[cranie4]

Bender: "There..now you're art!"

[cmaiken]

@shINgeSHkhAN ENGLISH!  DO YOU SPEAK IT?!

[retiremk]

OMG, I am ready to throw mine out the window, and I saw a link for this. Too bad my printer is BRAND NEW, I don't feel like wasting the money.

[AFIDD21]

paying too much for printer cartridges ?

[rinda05]

just use C4.... hahahahaa

[emehtonich]

I think your problem was you were using a oxidizing flame when you needed a neutral flame. A little less gas next time.

[bisnonnocanapa]

now is printing in peripheral's heaven loll

[jmile95]

Destroy!!!

[drmsgirl79]

Now That's a printer melt down!

[unapro3]

hope you never have a problem with your wife...eek!

[rocsvt1]

i think you got it a little to hot but it should work just fine now hell it might not even need ink!

[moustachebear]

Lol loved how the flame on your torch went out and you re lit it using the printer fire.

As a welder, I find this amusing and inspiring...

What more could be "welded"?

[may88s]

Just notice you had a paper clip in the paper feed. Just pop that out and it'll be as good as new. :p

[dboard9]

Did you take a moment to fill out the HP Customer Care survey?

[kobasica]

get a refund

[realrevelation007]

It doesn't look fixed

[will79601]

now ship it to hp lol

[blueovalboy351]

that thing was fixed reaaaalll good.

[1TrueGentleman4u]

As he was fixing his problem he realized there was a paper jam..

[colbyclan4]

@25pokemon6

No KIDDING!!!!

[Eminem8Jasonak90sl]

sir but how to use it again 

[supercoolninjayo]

Can you do this to an ipad?

[greenboy623]

Don't tell Al Gore about that one. LOL

[supressorgrid]

The operating manual specifcally states" do not modify with a blow torch"

[snowgnome650]

i have a HP deskjet D1420 he can fix.

[Sicklx]

LOL torch went out  the first time

[Erredmek]

Now THAT is a high-tech repair job if I ever saw one!

That'll show those friggin' electronics who is the BOSS!!!

:-)

[IloveChrist2]

Send it back...lol...

[Barbarian216]

Yeah, HP InkJet printers sucks! They are a rip off company, even if your ink is filled, after a period of time it says it's empty and you need a new one!

Burn that piece of junk!

[kalamar73]

Nice job! Housing of printer contains 10-20% of PBDEs and you managed to let them into atmosphere. Maybe one day you will scratch your beard what the hack went wrong that your son is going to love parades and your daughter growing a beard. Remember burning plastic then...:)

[CanadianWorkDivers]

Yeaaahhhhpp......... That looked about' right.

[somethinginmydrink]

well that's not gonna help anything...

[jenneratty]

I had a similar model with the same problem. I fixed mine with a splitting maul. It was less fiery and awesome, but about equally effective.

[77777kyle]

im gonna buy one of these and do that cuz my printer sucks ass

[ken261]

Well, at least you know the fire extinguisher works well :D

[MAM26X]

yeh I know what you mean!

[amr7861]

so does it work now?

[netlag]

Good as new!

[melinno01]

fun but man i would hate to be around all that cyanide

[doct0rthrill]

A little something hp deserves

[gcmc2]

You seem to be using an oxidising flame when I think a slightly carburizing flame is recommended for this task. BTW do you know anything about breathing dioxins produced when burning plastic ? Those clouds of it blowing in your face are pretty bad news. It doesn't take much. Hope you're still with us !

[mrstone56]

You do realize that oxygen is in fact diatomic?

A dioxin would actually be O2 which is Oxygen.

Durrrrrr

[gcmc2]

Do you realise that you're talking complete crap ? What a stroker. Duuhhhh

[wharutnev]

next fix your brain using your oxy-acetelyne

[jeetendrag10]

its nonsense for those who never had an urgent work..then pc and printer pull off their bullshit.

you really want to burn them

at least one person did the revenge.

now each time i feel like burning my pc,,i'll look at this instead

[MacsCanfly]

it worked!

[Andreus]

PC Load Letter

[maaark1234]

does it really work now?

[xavstack]

you numpty!!

[bodybager]

Next things you should put on your fix-it list are:

*your video camera

*your computer

*your internet connection

-in that order.

[ciararavenblaze]

don't worry, you'll get over it eventually. *pats you on the head*

[orpanyd]

Fixed!

[picklesrule69]

i had the same one as this years ago.. it sucks!

[richsmile376]

i like the new sleek black color=) looks like an epson now!hahahaa

[DasAntiNaziBroetchen]

the cherry on the cake would be if you would have pissed on it in the end! XDD

btw, does it work now?^^

[bikemech121]

You should have used a wet cloth on the lid to stop the heat from distorting it, without the lid dust may enter and ruin the quality of the print. What size of nozzle did you use and did you piss on it before or after you burned it?

[johnbarbera123]

well. it works better now than it did when it wasnt burnt.

[POSUTOKO]

有害物質出まくりじゃないかw

[dontswin]

I have a HP C4385 printer right here that has caused more FIGHTS in my house!

NEVER EVER will I buy another HP printer, this one here is only 13 months old and honest we NEVER EVER printed even 75 pages from it! I had it working then I didn't, then like 3 in the morning pages are coming out all by themselves.

HP printers SUCK ! HP you'll never get another nickel towards printer CRAP FROM ME! I shouldn't need a MASTERS DEGREE in COMPUTER SCIENCE to keep a printer running! HP SUCKS!

[rawirig]

lol nice

[cptshark]

here we are trying to stop destroying the planet and there you are burning a printer.. well done

[gay4prophetmohammed]

Try killing yourself. that will save the planet too.

[cptshark]

i cant be arsed to think of a witty reply so i will say "up yours you lame ass piece of no nothing slapfest".

[manbearpig900]

You know what will save the planet in the long run? Nuclear War.

[dontswin]

GOOD ONE! HaHa

[opferte]

Global warming is the biggest farce ever hoisted on humanity. Also, you need to lighten up. I wouldn't have used the fire extinguisher. But it was a good fix.

[wucherer]

Infermità mentale: Facendo la stessa cosa che prevede ripetutamente i risultati differenti.

[alphawolf53]

Figured you couldn't win an argument in English so you chose Italian, eh? But repeating the definition of metal illness in another language does not a won argument make. You may also want to look up "cognitive dissonance", and contemplate its applicability to your holding the view that countries should mind their own business whilst also loving your "freedom from 1776"... to which we can partially thank the French, when they didn't mind THEIR own business. Ever study history?

[almostincognito]

wow, this thread is really hard to follow, I think people have been deleting their comments. However, I'm glad to see the topic of the last few weeks die.

regardless, awesome video, I think the initial problem might have been your little actuator gears there on the left. They move the ink cartridge from side to side. If you'd just focused your weld on that it would have done the job, although this technique works well, too.

[wucherer]

meaning america didn't poke their nose into other countries affairs we didn't get attacked but yet we did and the end even if it didn't justify killing innocent people in their campaign ..radical muslims both of many different nationalities acted upon the monarchy trying to force themselves upon a country internal turmoils. Well enough of talking like adult to a bunch of children, hopefully when some child like stunt blows off fingers or toes won't involve some innocent person in the process.

[alphawolf53]

Aaah, the old "The US should mind its own business" argument. So, if your neighbour is beating his wife and testing poisons on his step children you wouldn't call the police? You would just "mind your business". Europe and the US "minded its own business" before WWII. We let Adolf Hitler build up his military and begin exterminating Jews.  As a result, he took over most of Europe and millions of people died. Should we have minded our own business then too?

[wucherer]

Those countries who have been invaded by american, english and other countries do need be reminded that when for the longest time when we were ..

[wucherer]

Not all terrorist are muslims, not all everyone is terrorists but only closed minded individuals like yourself can conceive of americans as terrorists as they have been proven but it's a sad state of affairs when a conversation have become childish in their thinking.

[alphawolf53]

You're right - not all terrorists are Muslim (capital "M")- but the ones who attacked us WERE Muslim... and we happen to be talking about the people who attacked us. So... what was your point?

Also, did you mean "individuals like yourself CAN" or "CAN'T"... It's hard to understand what you're saying with the general lack of grammar, capitalization, and punctuation.

[wucherer]

We are all responsible even if you live in the state of denial. Since this group is a bunch of closed minded children throwing personal attacks and want to force their opinion as fact i have grown weary of having any intelligent conversation anymore.

[alphawolf53]

We are all responsible... even the people who live in New Zealand? You don't seem to address that fact... Or any other actual FACTS.

Could you point out where exactly you had any intelligent comments? I seem to remember something about cheese sandwiches... I agree they're tasty, but any four year old can pretty much master that topic.

[abortioninfant]

It's what Bender would've done. <3333

[wucherer]

Don't have to re-think my statement of a previous comment. Your stupidity proves the point we are a nation of wasteful and self-centered individuals who flaunt and while other countries less fortune than us have to deal with other stupid government like we have had in previous administrations. Get a grip, if you cannot take constructive comments then don't post them for the world to see. Most think these videos are comical and i happen to comical and stupid. My freedom from 1776 paid for it.

[alphawolf53]

Actually, jackass, the OP is from New Zealand. Check out his link, Also notice the BRILLIANT work he's done on his site. And what exactly was constructive about your comments?

Here are some real constructive comments: When you insult others, but are factually incorrect, you look like an ass. When you call other people stupid, but fail to grasp the grammar and punctuation of your native tongue, you look like a bigger ass. Try to avoid both.

[wucherer]

That's why were attacked, we act like children and forget the reaction of our stupidity and maybe our stupidity won't get us wiped off the planet. Go back in your foxhole and eat some government cheese sandwiches.

[alphawolf53]

At least you said "We", indicating that "you" are a part of that group, while "I" am not. I agree that you're part of that group, since the most intelligent thing you have to offer is a ridiculous comment about cheese sandwiches.

Again you failed to notice that the guy who burned the printer is in NEW ZEALAND -- which is firmly OUTSIDE the US. Also you fail to grasp that the terrorists hate "infidels", which to them is anyone who isn't Muslim. Don't agree? Explain why they hate Israel too.

[wucherer]

Hmmm, as of yet cannot put my finger on the reason behind our enemy wanting us all dead....hmmm, wait..it's because of the stupid american like these who are the reason behind it and thankfully..hopefully our recent president will put these idiots where they deserve to be, in the BRIG!

[adm2204]

Wucherer: please rethink your brilliant statement. You think that other countries hate us because we screw around, and maybe burn a printer? Why do you think burning a printer is so terrible?

In your perfect world I'd be behind bars too cuz I do such horrific things as speed and blow up microwaves with works bombs. I must be a terrorist huh?

*GASP* I've even... shot off bottle rockets here in MN where it is ILLEGAL OH MY DEAR LORD

[jbtvt]

What a moron! Let's throw anyone who engages in any activity not directly contributing to the betterment of civilization, even if it's perfectly legal, in military prison! Typical liberal, our "recent president" would be proud. Nice grammar also retard, your mother who's also your second cousin teach you to talk like that?

[cobolsaurus]

you just interpreted the feeling of all of us who have come in contact with one of this artifacts. Good work.

[jt3600]

Did you bring the printer back to Wal Mart for a refund after "fixing" it?

[TheRealAlas]

u dident print a test page at da end... I dont think what u did fixed it, but it sure is gonna work better than it used to.

maybe now u qualify for a support, just tell em "I just wanned to print few letters from notepad and dis is wat happend :("

[xvaudiovisuales]

good work but only have a piece of peanut in the track paper. jajaj

[labreckcanskate]

now all you need to do is hit print on your computer and itll work like you just det it up right outta the box....hahaha i so need to try this but i think i might get in trouble for trying that at school lol

[honborg]

Do you think thes advanced diag/repair is mentioned in the service manual?....

that has to stink terrible...

[cowudder86]

i have erectile dysfunction, i wonder if this technique would solve my problems?

[CoolasIce2]

I have a Lexmark pos. Does it work with it too?

[rensy101]

good way to clear a paper jam

[voodoomelons]

Did you try turning it on and off again?

[reaverofsouls]

This should be the fate of everything HP.

[n0y0x]

oooh, so thats whats wrong with my printer. Thanks for sharing!

[lowriderguy01]

in my welding class a kid burned of his finger nail, and the rest of his finger was black and all shrivled up. How do you spell shrivled

[timin770]

hope you bought the extended warranty

[randomvideowatcher]

I think the printer was just overheating..just replace a few parts and it'll work like new!

[southernmuffins]

Seems like a perfectly good solution to a piece of crap........

[james1997123]

Yes, I think the printer is gonna work better than ever........lol

[lotanota]

to all you hippies that are crying bout fumes and pollution. dont speek unless you peddel a bike and only a bike. what do you think your car does every time you start it up and drive your ass down to the quicky mart and get your expresso and home n garden mag?

[raywebb21190]

Reminds me of office space

[ganjaeno]

reply button doesn't work for me...

that was response to someguy419's comment below.

[rottencactus28]

burning plastic releases some of the most deadly fumes of anything burning!

[87agent87]

nice look at that black smoke coming offa the printer at the end there. that must be healthy to breathe in

[sgreen71778]

Nerdboy here...that causes a lot of pollution.

[someguy419]

looks great, now can you come fix my tv? its starting to do that purple in the corner thing

xD

[ganjaeno]

that's just because your speaker's magnet is too close to it.

[someguy419]

the purples at the opposite side as the speakers

[PlayStati0nChannel]

damn paper jams

[w0chALLthin9s]

looks like a fireplace

[Gastel]

I don't think they will take it back on warranty now.

[polarbear60]

Just say you left it in a hot car.

[Gastel]

is THAT what happens to a dog when left in a car?

[owvenus]

now it will work...

[NguyenD1]

around 6000 degrees F

[GreenXenon]

I wonder what the burning printer smells like.

[4nj00]

Oxy-fuel cutting torches: The solution to everything.

[Skimllfixit]

So, did it work better afterwards?

[TGAcodes]

the flame coming out of the torch is incredibly bright. that must be really fucking hot

[4nj00]

something like 800 degrees centigrade if I'm remembering right.

[BamBogleBlaster]

Actually, it's more than 3000 degrees C.

[BeavisNacho]

a Good Use for an HP printer, considering they are deliberately engineered to waste ink. Print in black and watch your other colors ink status, they mix them to make money, one by one.

Perhaps I will try this with mine.

[shermon69]

Damn! that is some Damn good fixing skills

[na5m]

that's the way you clear a paper jam.

[Rocroi1643]

What a wonderfull idea but since I don´t have an oxy-acetylene torch, neither a shotgun, I would use a bulldozer to fix the damn printer.

[TheRailFan]

be careful if you put one of these babys on the fire ...the steel roll inside is sealed !! it missed my head by about 3inchs ,,say no more !!! i was lucky !!

[hovanti]

I don't have an oxy-acetylene torch, so I would have used a shotgun

[archerofdoom]

dude that totally fixed it, thats good as new, lol nice

[benno9438]

ihope u weared a cap before ur mouth els u could get cancer nice vid lol

[kgsolomanfivethouand]

[dirtjerkz]

You teach that damn printer a lesson...cheap chinese parts

[Jeremyc56]

hey asciimation, my fridge isn't workin, can you fix it?

[pierrele]

the right way to fix HP hardware.

[Econologie2]

Good Job, well done!

[obbzerver]

Not to mention the cancer you'll get from inhaling fumes from the burning plastic.

[bradaussie93]

you must be such a fun person to live with :|

[playingxboxtoday]

At 1:24 you can clearly see that he's wearing a respirator.

[phast46]

[halloweendarkness]

That doesn't look fixed to me..

[M42Bimmer]

thx for ruining the environment. I have a broken gas can for you to fix in the same way.

[Kali4]

Thanks for sucking up all the oxygen, I have a plastic shopping bag you can recycle into a head and face cover.

[M42Bimmer]

Did your ma try to recycle monkey semen as lubricant for her dildo? I suppose they wear head and face covers where you're from... Does it make it all good when you can't see if your banging something that you're related to?
