Thank you. Well done, makes complete sense

You saved me countless hours of frustration. Thank you!

It has been a while since you uploaded this video. Thank you. I would say that those who are asking 'how' below wouldn't be able to perform the operation you are showing! If you don't know where he is looking and how to get there-you probably can't! I did some deep diving on my brother and found the clog inside the printhead that I had been chasing every couple of printings. Your video helped me do a dive in an area I had never thought to investigate. thanks

Thank you. Got mine from a 2nd hand store, so this was very helpful with testing to ensure it functioned properly.

2024 here. It helped a lot.... I still have to tap the top of the documents, perhaps I will keep reforming the steel bit some. Thanks for sharing. .... No wonder it was at the thrift shop :D

He may have meant this video, it's waaayyy beyond me... kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3vJmYaHrJl1n9E

Thanks so much for your time on this. I wanted to share that I had the same paper feeder problem. I cleaned all my parts, I followed this video and moved the steel part down to provide enough pressure then later tried moving it up in case it was too tight for my paper feed. Ultimately, the power cable was not providing enough energy to the device. I used a slightly stronger cable, and it started feeding the paper. I encourage using the correct cable only.

Thank you very much for taking the time and sharing your experience. It was exactly my problem. I look at other videos how to take the printer apart and found the little pin at the bottom. It was also the one pin in the black ink. Thank you very much .

Thank you so much for this video!! I think this is my problem!!🤞🏼🤞🏼

Thanks

My issue is that the wheels are spinning but I have to push the paper down for it to grab the paper

how did you get through to tech support . I can't see it find anyway other that some crappy chatting with the computer version of tech support. BTW great tip here!

" found the problem, not going to show you how to fix it" .

Good grief. Get to the POINT! And the fix. Waste of time.

Thank you so much! I have been having this problem for a few years and had resigned myself to just shoving the documents through. You are a lifesaver!

Ya it's fine but still doesn't work

This solved my issue. I removed the piece that has the rubber flaps and metal piece and bent the metal piece a little bit so it would have a tighter contact with the rubber wheel.

Thank you very much! I was just about to buy a new scanner, and your fix has mine working great again!

Thank you so much …. It worked

Those three cartridge contacts are on a little fingernail-sized bit of plastic that pops out from the top of the cartridge case. A Brother dealer can order that little piece for you. I found one on Ebay.

Thank you very much for posting this video!! Very kind of you :)

Nice video!!

That video is useless, title should be, " found the problem, not going to show you how to fix it" .

very grateful for your advice

Great intuition, engineering mind and PUBLIC SERVICE! WOW!

I HAVE BROTHER MFC-6490CW, PROBLEM WAS IT WON'T DETECT BROTHER ORIGNAL BLACK INK AND ALWAYS GAVE ME ERROR INSERT CARTRIDGE SLOWLY, I TRIED ALL THE TRICKS MENTIONED ON KZbin, I STARTED DISMENTALLING THE PRINTER (CAUTION: PLEASE DO NOT UNPLUG THE ORANGE INTERNAL MEMORY BACKUP BATTERY PART VARTA 3.6V 140 mAh JUST HANG THE TOP COVER IN LEFT SIDE AND SECURE WITH A TAPE) TAKING PICS AT EVERY STEP, WHAT I FOUND IN MY PRINTER THAT THE CAPPLIERY TUBE WHICH TRANSPORT INK TO PRINT HEAD WAS FILLED WITH AIR, THERE WAS AIR GAP, I GOT BLACK PIGMENT INK AND FILLED THE CAPPILIERY TUBE WITH BLACK INK, MOVE THE PRINT HEAD TO CENTER BY TURNING WHEEL GEAR LITTLE BIT AND TUG SOME PAPER TOWEL UNDER THE HEAD TO SUCK ANY INK GETTING DRAINED. AFTER DONE MOVE THE PRINTER HEAD TO ORIGINAL POSITION CAREFULLY ASSEMBLE THE PRINTER, (FOR RIBBON CONNECTORS USE THIN SLIPPERY PAPER ON CONTACTS SLIDE RIBBON CONNECTOR WITH PAPER ON TOP OF PINS ONCE RIBBON IS INSERTED PULL PAPER OUT)LCD DISPLAY WILL ASK TO INSERT CARTRIDGES ONE BY ONE AND DO SO, CONNECT THE PRINTER TO NETWORK, DO INITIAL SETUP, FIRST TRY TO PRINT A COPY THEN USE THE SCANNER, SCAN NEEDS NETWORK CONNECTED. SCANNER WILL SAY NO CONNECTION FOR THIS ERROR YOU NEED TO HOOK TO WIRELESS OR WIRED NETWORK, HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL, GOOD LUCK.

Thanks Charlie, now I know the problem. But don't know how to get inside to replace the pin. Could you do another video?

Talk too much, too long, too slow and you don't make any sense.

Yeah I have the same problem

How does that part come out?

It’s great that you found the problem, but if you don’t show us how to fix it, it doesn’t help

Thank you sooo much

Thank you.

Thank you so much, you preserved my sanity!

You're awesome thank you so much!

Great fix! Thanks

Thank You so much. It definitely works!!

Should the silver "finger" be straight? Or is it slightly bent near the end forward (towards the user)? The video almost looks like it is bent backwards but I think it may be lighting.

Hello! thanks for the info!!! However, after this, was your image ok? my image is not, when i scan all i get is a blank scan, do you know what could be happening?

Dude, you are a genius. I had not used the scanner in a while. As you said nothing would work. I tried what you said and vola it now works! I was ready to take it to e-waste. Thank you for taking the time to share this video!

Oh my goodness... THANK YOU so much!!! I've been going crazy trying to figure this out! No more crooked scans from forcing it through!

Worked for me. Thanks

This worked for me, awesome! Thank you for sharing this video!!!

You are the best !!!!!!!!!!!Thank you so much you saved me from buying new neat

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You literally saved the day (and me a lot of money) with this video! I looked for a long time to figure out what was wrong with my scanner and I came across your video! Thank you so much for posting it!

Awesome! Thank you soo much!!

thanks. i was scanning an all of sudden the paper wouldn't feed. Great video

Was the perfect answer to my issue!!

This did not fix my paper jam problem, however, it did lead me to the fix. I opened and cleaned all contact points and wheels with alcohol prep swabs. Everything that come in contact with your scanned item. (NOT the reader bar) but the wheels and little silver pressure metal thing. Clean front and back and also on the wheels roll them around as to clean the complete wheel, not just the part you currently see. Hope this helps someone.
