HP ScanJet 3P maintenance - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

If this scanner is like most there are relatively few moving parts  a
scanner head, two rails, a stepper motor and a belt/geartrain. I¹d try small
dabs of grease on the rails on which the head slides and see if that does
it. A tiny bit more on the gear shafts might be in order. My guess is the
rails are dry and the head is squealing as it moves along.

 My HP ScanJet 3p has started to squeal when the mechanism moves.
 I assume it needs to be lubricated.  Does anyone have a hardware
 manual for the 3p or know how to disassemble it and what parts
 to grease?
