Not saying this is the case with this unit but premature laser failure in DVD recorders is usually because they're also used to play discs, not just record which what they're really geared toward.
but, when a cartridge chip is marked as a empty cartridge indication, how do you reset the chip to continue printing whith your hp?? my chip says that the cartridge is empty, so the printer wan't use that for printing and that color is missing during printing!!sorry for my bad english...
Miałem identyczny zestaw, czarny tusz szybko zatkał dyszę. Nie pomogło czyszczenie izopropanolem, a czyszczenie w myjce ultradźwiękowej całkowicie uszkodziło głowicę. Po rozbiórce głowicy okazało się, że faktycznie czarny był zalepiony zaschniętym tuszem. Kolorowe już od 2 lat śmigają bez problemu na nowej głowicy, czarny ActiveJet ;)
Indeed, the newest HP printers claim that they "use the HP364 cartridges" which is not true. They use HP364 "new version" which are not compatible with the older ones (the electronic chips are different). Shame on you, HP.
than the manual is wrong, in every other video ive seen the empty section is always fully filled. the cartridge already has an air hole in the front for air pressure.
The manual says that the ink container (the one without the sponge) must be half-filled. That creates optimal pressure to fill the adjacent sponge I guess... :-)
The cartridge chip has a sort of counter that tells the printer that cartridge has been already used and it's depleted. It's not a physical problem with the ink, it's programmed obsolencence. If you transfer a "depleted" chip onto a new cartridge, the printer still will "see" it as used.
@ChieftainY2k Ohh Ok I see. At 00:26 it looks like your opening a new packet but its actually cello tape right? Thanks for the video thought. I did the same thing and it works great on mine :)
@youlwoe Hi! No I didn't wasted full cartridges, I'm not THAT dumb :-) The original cartridges have been already depleted :-) That is why I bought these transparent replacements and simply transferred the chip.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO BUT THE DUMB THING YOU DID IS YOU JUST WASTED A ORIGINAL HP CARTRIDGE. I USE MY ORIGINAL ONES AND ONCE THEIR FINISHED I JUST USE THE CHIP :)
@SQT81R As far as I know there is no time limit on how long the original chips work (but someone please correct me if I'm wrong). The chips only provide a rough estimate of how much ink has been used so far. When the "ink level" is past a certain threshold the printer warns you but you just go on and ignore it :)
... and me - bought in January - tried to transfer some files for the first time in July to DVD. Successfully did one DVD then the second all going along just fine followed by an error then No Read and irritating disc check noise began - no warranty (bought on e-bay) so no repair. This problem appears all over the net and seems to be primarily Panasonic - you would think a solution should be published or a recall of machines.
