    Electrical contact circuit cleaner spray contains isopropyl alcohol . It also evaporates very quickly and you can get it from most Car Spares Stores Shop's. Just a thought if you can't easily buy the bottle version

    Very useful and practical video. Had a question. If there are bands of color toner on the transfer belt, is it a drum problem or transfer belt issue? I cleaned the transfer belt, but when I I print again after cleaning the belt, it shows up again on the transfer belt and also on my print. Any suggestions?

    Hi I'm trying to resuscitate a Samsung CLP356W printer after few years of no use. Cleaning the drum as per your instructions works ok initially but rotating the drum it gets very dirty again (toner powder not grease or else) and it keeps like that even rotating several times.Is it normal or should I assume the drum unit is too dirty inside and needs to be replaced? Thank you for help.
