@gordoooo_z Yikes. Sounds like disassembly is in the cards then. I assumed it was mono because brother lasers usually are. At least that makes the mechanism simpler. May be worth taking the tiger out and giving it a good shake? It's got to have gone somewhere. I hope you can fix it.
I used to maintain design jets at a previous job in the 00's. Really well engineered. I did a belt assembly replacement on one. So serviceable. Getting the cartridges for the older ones is difficult these days though. I was gifted one for the makerspace I used to run, but when the cartridges ran out, we couldn't get any more, not even refills. It also developed a problem homing the carriage, which turned out to be because of the rail lubricant drying out. Main symptom was the sheet cutter not engaging properly and tearing the paper.

@cybervegan Yeah that's exactly what mine needs. I've got the replacement belt and have it partially disassembled, I've just been trying to work up the interest and motivation to finish the job lol. I got the T610 specifically because the cartridges do still exist, and in generic form as well, and this one included nearly full cartridges installed plus a set of spares. Who knows how long they'll continue to be available though 🤷
