Dismantling Brother MFC9570CDW

[Holly1959]

I have to dismantle the case of a Brother MFC9570cdw. Background: the flat cable between the lc-display (tested on an other 9570 and ok) is presumably defective. I will try to remove and check it, but i have no idea to get to the inner parts of the printer. Can anybody help or give some information how to dismantle it. Thanks a lot and a happy new year!

Nothing in the manual. I will try it without and have done the first steps to reach the point of interest.

A lot of screws have to be removed to open the case on the left and right sight. All interior parts like the paper tray, toner cartridges, fixing unit and toner trashbox have also to be removed. At last, to make it possible to get to the flatwire i have to unscrew the upper part (scanner unit) of the mfc. the I can lift the scanner unit a little bit and remove the flatwire. That´s the first step, I will let you know about a sucess to bring the mfc back to life.
