|| DIY || Fixing Brother P-touch tz tape cartridge issue fix - latest updated 

Thank you. I just fixed my wife's label maker and now I'm a hero.

Bought the p-touch at yard sale for $5 like new. The tape wasn't working until i came across this video, thank you. It's fixed!

Thank you so much for posting this video! You saved me time and money not having to purchase a new cartridge when the existing one still had a lot of life left in it!

This was just what I was looking for! You did a great job of explaining without using words! One request, that you create a drawing of the cassette after you take the lid off. You could mark all the little plastic pieces where each tape label goes and the directions that the wheels turn. I did it for myself because I'm a visual person and wanted to see how it all works.

After successfully fixing my tape cartridge i only printed out few labels and ran out of tape. :( i ordered new cartridge for $2 and it showed up at my door few days later. It was still fun learning. Thanks again.

Just bought the printer, the tape braided at first try. I found this fix and it worked fine. Very well explained, crystal clear. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for showing how to put back together an expensive ENOUGH cartridge! Many thanks once again! Bless you!

At first I really thougt, fixing will be possible without opening the catridge! Thank you for enlighting me! Great job!

Thank you, but good lord, cut that thumbnail

Thank you for this, easy to follow, the case is a bit of a pain to get off, it's a lot..heading to Amazon to buy a 2 pack for $10 instead :)

Thank you. Because of your video I was able to save my cartridge and not waste it, I did consider tossing it and glad I thought to look up how to fix a tape cartridge. Thanks again.

SUPER HELPFUL! THANK YOU! The one i was trying to repair was that expensive $15 cable wrap fleible id tape.

If I can give you an oscar... you earned it. Thank you for solve a throw away of cassettes. Ofcourse also the frustration took away.. thumbs up.😊💪🫶

so grateful people make videos like this to help us fix this!!

Thanks so much. I was getting ready to toss my cartridges into the trash I was so frustrated and your fix did the trick! Literally, they came wonky right out of the packaging. Very easy to follow along and fix!

Really great! Would have loved to see where the little spring on the green wheel goes tho. Pretty sure I figured it out, but that would have been extra helpful. All in all great vid. Thanks!

My dog was able to fix the brother tape roller. He is happy, thank you!

Oh my gosh! Thank yooou! This really did help. I was struggling.. 😌 It was printing white on black. Thank you again!

The instruction was fine. Thanks for recording your video and sharing it with the rest of us. Saved me time, money and an extra headache.

Thank you very much for this valuable video. Just i brought P touch E550W. And I got jammed my sample cartridge. But i resolve it from following your video. Thanks again. Keep it up.

Thanks for saving me $20. I knew the problem was fixable. Thanks for showing me how!

I accidently broke this on my work. Thanks to you I can keep my job. Thanks man!!!

Thank you for your video. Thanks to it, I was able to repair my Brother P-touch Pro cartridge. Many thanks, and greetings from Rivera, Uruguay.

Thanks for your time and effort in posting this!!! A challenge, but now I have my lovely gold on premium sparkly white back :) My tape was a compatible btw. To other viewers.. take a photo at the end while your cassette is open.

Thank you so much!!! This video saved me so much money, it was the perfect step by step guide!! You are a ROCK STAR!!!

Thank you! This helped me repair my cartridge, so it was really helpful. I wanted to point out that there's another catch between the two that you pointed out at 1.08 and 1.10! You have to access it from the underside. Not really critical as forcing the case open should be able to pop it. Using sticky tape to hold down those pesky bits was also a great tip!

Thank you! This helped me fix a Casio label tape.

I loved the pace of this - very helpful and patient. Thanks!

THE MAN! Two almost full cartridges that won't go to waste!!

Nice job! Managed to fix the cartridge thanks to this video! My one didnt have the little clips and was just held together with friction and eased apart nicely. Very fidley job though!

Fixing the cartridge on the label maker was a great way to spend an hour on the night shift xD thanks for the tutorial so it didn't have to be thrown away

Dude, you nailed it!

Thank you, it worked and helped us so much! Unbelievable!

This is awesome.... thanks for saving me $60 and buy a new cartridge tape :) It really helped, thanks heaps

Thanks. Painful to watch, but helped me fix two cartridges that didn't survive the kids.

Thank you very much for the tutorial !!! I was able to fix my tape :) Much appreciation.

Finally decided to use my label maker after a year. I thought the cassette was faulty until I found your video. I was able to fix it and it works great. Thank you for the detailed video

Excellent video - because I had a 24mm tape - out of the box - and jammed. Mainly - because the thin black color-tape fell off the reel (so it wasn't rolling it up). I looked at the video - mainly to get an idea how to open it - and what expects me inside :-) THEN also - how the tapes/reels need to look - as my 'green'-reel was empty ... THEN - I've done pretty much - the steps in the video ... ONE ugly thing what happens towards the end is, that the white adhesive tape - got in touch with the thin colour tape. happened several times - until I figured out what's the reason (tensioning the color-tape rewind reel) To prevent the adhesive roll picking up the color-tape - simply put 4cm of transparent tape onto the adhesive side. This way - the thick adhesive roll won't be able to 'pick up' the color-tape ... Makes re-assembly way easier. When reassembled - just pull out that part of the tape, which isn't 'sticky' - DONE - WORKS :-)

Thank you very much, it was an incredible tutorial, it helped me a lot

Thanks for the video. I had to fix the same cartridge and you guided me well through the process.

Muchas gracias!! Excelente video. Tenía una cinta defectuosa y viendo el vídeo la pude arreglar sin grandes problemas!!

Thanks for the tutorial..very helpful 👍

Thank you so much ! First time that i fixed something complicadet by myself 👏

Thank you so much!!! I mess my tape and now I can fix it!!!.

It works. Thank you, it took me about 10 minutes.

Super helpful! Thank you so much for posting this!

Thanks so much! Great video.

Very helpful in fixing the same tape issue in my PT-D210, thanks!

This was EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you!

Bitchin' this TOTALLY worked!!! Thanks, Dude with the long thumbnail. I would totally chuck in the trash if these weren't so dang expensive. Nice and soothing "mushroom house" music in the background. It was calming bcuz this is not easy-easy. Just when you get the spool thing on it slips in your hand and another part falls off. Took a bit to get all the pieces put back the way they should. I now intrinsically understand how these cartridges work! Back to labeling stuff in our "Pandemic Pod" for virtual learning.

I made it!!! thanks for your guide.

This helped me a lot! Thank you so much!

thumbs up for saving my 30$ cartridge … 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thank you! Great tutorial and I fixed my cartridge with your guidance.

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful.

thank you very much !!! it's not easy to film this, for me it lasts ~ 1 hour - the film tape falls out etc. • Right at the first test run there was a new belt jam, which now I was able to remove without opening the housing again, as I understood after the praxis bevor the three-belt system. Unlike in the film, all 3 bands were still visible. So I was able to put the 3 bands back together outside of the housing. :-)

Thank you, saved a cassette that I was ready to throw out!

Thanks, you've answered all my questions !!

this is exactly what i was looking for. i was on a chat with brother support and they could tell me nothing! not even why this happens, its like choosing menu > clear on the device changes the cartridge permanently like! without any warning that you can't go back and there is nothing explaining the function on their website faq's or the manual! a defintie floor of the brother cartridge on tpz tapes! just hope brother watch this and do something about it!

Thanks, you saved my life! Good content, better nails.

nice. thanks. filming was really clear easy to see what you were doing

That nail tho :-\ Couldn't even focus on fixing it.

Thank you! It worked, you just saved me some money at work!

Thank u so much! It's really helped me..

Thank you so much, I was about to return the whole thing to the store, this worked and you saved me a trip. Thanks again.

Thank you this really helped!

This gave me some street cred with my kids.

Thanks for you video, it's save my tape ;)

...reminded me about the time when an audio cassette use to get caught in the roller of player mechanism, this being worn and tired from use! You had to take your time to do it properly! ....when the tape would break at one end inside roller cassette.. Jesus it was "fun"!

Just fixed mine, it looks good. I think it will work, thanks Dude.
