HP LJ 1320 -- Flashing Amber LED; Motor Doesn't Run

A flashing amber LED on the 1320 can mean any of several things, but when the motor doesn't run at all it's a giveaway that the cover interlock switch is not being made. The interlock actuator is a rectangular plastic projection at the upper-left corner of the toner cartridge access door. The projection is about 5/8" long, long enough that it's a bit fragile and easily bent over rightward by a careless user.

In the instance we encountered, we were able to bend the projection back to straightness without it breaking off.
