Brother PT-110 Print Roller Lever Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

5 - 20 minutes

Introduction

The entire motor/gear assembly housing should be removed before starting.

Tools

Step 1

Push on the side of the cover, and remove it.

Step 3

Unscrew the two 9 mm Phillips #1 screws from the top and bottom.
Total: 2 x Screws

Step 4

First: To separate the top cover from the body, insert a spudger between the two halves.
Gently twist the spudger until the two halves separate. Do this in multiple spots around the perimeter of the cover to distribute the pressure.
DO NOT PULL HALVES APART. There are wired connections inside that must be disconnected before halves can be fully separated.

Step 5

Gently separate the two covers, ensuring wires are not taut.

Step 6

Gently grasp the ribbon wire and top cover, then gently pull the ribbon wire out of its connection.

Step 7

Carefully pinch the top of the connector.
Pull perpendicular to the device until the wire is disconnected.
It may require more force than expected to disconnect the wires.

Step 8

Unscrew the three 9 mm Phillips #1 screws shown.
Total: 3 x Screws

Step 9

Using the metal spudger, swivel the pin so that the print roller lever loosens.

If the roller is broken, where do you buy a new one? My roller mechanism doesn't move but looks in good condition...

Did you ever find a source for the broken roller ??

Suggestion: Brother says no replacement parts are sold or available.

The print head control arm is a bad design, coupled with a too strong arm spring and under constant pressure once the cartridge door is snapped shut, the control arm fails.

When storing the label maker, remove the batteries and do NOT snap the cartridge area door shut.

If you do disassemble, take photos of the process to help reassembly as things shift.

Fix: This can be done but is not easy. Take the unit apart as the above video shows and put a mark on the motor for orientation as it will shift. Once you have it apart complete. Fish out the broken control arm. This arm can be plastic welded back in its original location and reinforced. This can be done with a small pencil type soldering iron, something to hold the 2 parts correctly while doing the plastic welding. Look on YouTube for hints. After the welds are done check the alignment as this is crucial. Next use very fine steel wire strands and carefully plastic melt these in the same area.
