Hello smart folks out there in computer land. I have an HP PSC 2510xi
all-in-one printer. My problem is that i droped something heavy on it
and broke the glass where the documents sit upon. Does anyone have a
good idea where I can get a replacement glass? I know from HP, but I
have yet to be able to find out exactly where.

Any help, of course, would be appreciated. Thank you.

$4.50 (in the US) from

Go to any glass shop (see yellow pages)and tell them the size you need.
You might even get it done on the cheap at Home Depot or equivalent.
I doubt that there is anything special about H-P's glass.

There are a few issues to consider here.

1) Is the glass the only thing that was damaged? If the frame the glass
sits within was distorted, you may be unable to get proper focus without
it being repaired or replaced.

2) Can you get all the glass pieces out of the unit. There are moving
parts which may be damaged if any speck of glass gets stuck in it, so
make sure the glass is fully cleared up.

3) The glass needs to be the correct thickness, so it doesn't rattle in
the frame, and keeps proper distance between the scanner lens/sensors
and the original. I don't think they use a specially hardened glass,
but it needs to be of good enough quality not to have any optical
defects (specks in it, or distortion). I would think that as long as it
is relatively untinted (most less costly glass have a bit of iron in
them making then slightly green) it will work, as scanners usually do a
light level and color calibration before they scan.

OK, forget my reply... if you can get the exact replacement for $4.50 it
hardly worth seeking another source and trying to work out an bugs in
doing so.

You are right, I replaced the glass, which I did buy from HP, and
there is still some other internal problems allowing it to function
properly, and to complete the initial boot sequence. Thanks for the
info everyone. I suppose there are more parts that were damaged than
just the glass.
