Brother Hl-2040 paper over feed

when you're facing the front of the machine, it's the left cover that you need to remove to see the solenoid. there's 2 screws holding the cover, one at the front behind the front door and one at the back behind the rear door. then remove the paper cassette and ply the cover off both at the front and rear, downward to remove.

off, look at the front end and you should see a larger black gear with a spring attached to it at a 45 deg angle. right behind the spring is the solenoid of interest. if you do a print, the solenoid should be triggered once and the black gear should only rotate once. if it rotate more than once, the solenoid arm is sticking to the sponge pad. use a small blade or flat head screwdriver to remove the pad from the solenoid and hopefully your problem should be solve.
