Thanks Larry. I'll try that.

Hello again Larry. No joy there. I lifted the scanner cover and removed
four screws, but couldn't get any further. I don't see any metal anywhere
in this All-In-One. I have a worn out ten-year old HP DeskJet 882C printer,
which I'd hoped that this All-In-One would replace. The old printer does
have obvious metal parts.

Andy,
Mine was an 1170c from around 1999- 2000 era. The back came off and there
was 2 vertically mounted boards accessable after you removed a plate inside
the plastic cover. Looking at a photo on the net of the PSC1600, this looks
quite a bit more modern than the 1170c.

It doesn't look like you are alone with that problem.
