R13 is between the coil and R11 and R12 (which are both standing on end) just to the right of
the small white power switch connector. It may be covered with some solidified brown 'goop'.
Use a 1/4 watt instead of the itty bitty 1/8 watt or what ever it is. Go to an electronics store and
tell them you need a 15K 1/4 watt resistor. A few pennies vs $80 for a new power supply. The
power supply is P/N C2693-67012.
Deskjet 1220C, Removing the Case
1. Remove the two T20 Torx screws in the top.
2. The extensions on the end covers, that form the sides of the paper tray, have small clips that
secure them. Pry them loose with a small slot screwdriver.
3. Remove the end covers. There is clip front and rear one each one that is accessed from
underneath. When the clips are disengaged the covers will lift vertically, more or less.
4. The rear cover can be removed after either end cover is removed.
The paper tray sides tend to relatch while you are trying to remove the side covers. Avoid the
temptation to slam the printer against a wall.
Reassembly is a little tricky because the end covers interlock with the back cover.
Since you have it apart:
Remove and clean the service station. Scrape out as much congealed ink as possible, remove the
motor (you will need a T10 Torx driver), and immerse the service station in hot water. After a
few rinsings it will be nearly like new. Cleaning it avoids an eventual overflow.
