This is a brand new cartridge with the same contact covered that I get the solid orange with no matter what combination of off, on, insert cartridge. This pic was while I was trying your rescue operation, ELMP. Ok so I currently have an old cartridge running a new chip with the one labelled 1 covered with a tiny sticker cut from a sticky note. reference for the Samsung printer and how he bypassed the EEPROM is detailed here. I hope this helps and if anyone can confirm these steps allows their "dead" cartridge to work, we can hopefully get to the bottom of this. My next task is to get some toner refill and see if the cart will register as full, I have no doubts that I am on the last leg of toner inside the starter cartridge. Sure enough something happened and I got a different outcome that now allows me to print. My thought was if I blocked the SDA contact on the toner cartridge and turn on the printer it might do something similar. (His printer used older chipless toner cartridges) I am basing this idea off of a trick that someone had done on a samsung printer years ago where he bypassed the SDA so that the EEPROM would re-calibrate to zero. Going off what found on the toner cartridge, where the SDA and SCL is located, and what said about covering one of the contacts, here's the order of events I did.ġ) My printer was showing a solid "Orange" light (Toner empty or expired and have not been able to print for days even with power resets)Ģ) Took a piece of electrical tape and blocked the SCL contact on the Toner Cartridges Chip (Did this on accident)ģ) Turned ON the printer and later realized that I covered the wrong contactĤ) Turned OFF printer and moved the electrical tape onto the SDA contactĥ) Turned ON Printer, Printer did not initialize and gave me the same solid Orange LightĦ) Turned OFF printer and removed the electrical tapeħ) Turned ON printer and the printer initialized and gave me a blinking Orange Light (low toner)Ĩ) I am now able to print for the first time in days. I am not a programer by any means so here goes nothing! I just wanted to report what I found, just now, that I believe may possibly lead to something. First time to the forums and I wanted to thank you all for working on this project and putting together some great information.
