My guess is that the belt is stretched, and I don't yet know if there is
sufficient adjustment available to take up the slack. Does anyone know
the specs of these belts and where one might obtain a replacement? A
search on the HP part number does not turn up much.
Silly question, but have you actually looked at the belts? On my
9895A, both belts had fallen off, due to rough handling.
