Week1 Narrative
Our group decided to work on the deconstruction project. We disseminated research tasks based on 1 different device we could possibly deconstruct per person (Inkjet printer, Laserjet printer, laptop, television, scanner). I researched the flatbed scanner which is the most common type of scanner. I found out most of the information about the components of the flatbed scanner, met the task i was provided with. The next step would be actually finding out exactly what device we will be working on.

Week2 Narrative
We found out that we would be deconstructing a HP Laserjet 5550dn printer together. We then tasked each person with researching a certain aspect of the deconstruction process; such as the components of the printer, tools needed, pertinent techniques, etc. I researched the components of the printer. I found a very detailed catalog that described and showed the many different internal components. I believe i still need to find some more components, such as external ones. The next step is pooling together our research and beginning deconstruction.

Week3 Narrative
This week marked the end of preparation and research, for the most part, and signaled the beginning of actual deconstruction. Our main task this week was to collectively and/or separately begin deconstructing the printer. All things didnt go according to plan on my end, as i was stuck without any sort of transportation and therefore could not come in. However other members of the group did begin. Since i could not join, i resigned myself to looking for simpler diagrams we could more easily use to ID the parts. I found this quite difficult. Regardless, this next week we should be able to finish the deconstruction.
