I have a Xerox Phaser 860 at work. I am replacing the heater bulbs on it. I had no problems disassembling it, although I had to turn the x-axis to remove the right maintenance drawer guide. Now I got it all back together, turned it on, and it just starts clicking real loud. I turn it off right away. Also now the maintenance drawer will not remove. Any ideas?
I think it is something to do with the x-axis, but I do not know how to remedy it.
 
this happened to me. When you hear the clutches moving, see if you can take the maintenance drawer out. you might have to try a bit.

 
I turned it on and let it do it's thing. It did a lot of loud clicking. I think it fixed itself, because it prints fine now, and doesnt make the noise evry time I turn it on. But it does make a loud buzzing sound midway through warmup and then stops, sounds like a loud fan. Then there are occasional clicks that I don't think were there before. The drawer now is also removable.

As long as it continues to print good I am happy.
 
The loud chattering was due to Printhead being out of home position. This normally will have no bad effect other than the noise which only lasts a short time and usually scares the bejesus out of my customers. :) Once everything finds its home the printer works fine.
