| 1426161 | 2016-09-18 06:44:00 | Hi Team, I have a Brother MFC-J480DW printer in which I am using LC233 cartridges. I have watched the Youtube article below and several others and have filled the cartridges successfully. www.youtube.com However, the status screen on the printer indicates that the cartridges are still empty and new cartridges need to be inserted. What am I doing wrong or miss-understanding. All advice will be very welcome. Cheers. |

| 1426162 | 2016-09-18 07:44:00 | What happens is inside the cartridges is a tiny chip, when the ink gets low it trips and sends a signal to the printer saying the cartridge is empty, and if you try to refill the cartridges it doesn't reset, this is by design as They don't want you using third party inks. There are various ways on the internet with plenty of suggestions as to how to bypass this, but many don't work. Example: this site says it can reset with their device - depends on if you want to muck about cartridgeamerica.com -- Its USA. Just out of interest I started to order one, it comes to a fraction under $52 NZ --Yeah - Nah |
