[@Vl.Yolochick]

Did it. Had problems to close the top lid again (the black did not attach correctly to the white plastic thingy). I cleaned it with Isopropanol and an ultrasonic bath -> its broken now 😅 after trying the first print, one high spule noise and gone...

Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

[@blairparent-beard8259]

Thanks for the video! I owe it to ya for saving me from buying a whole new printer 😅

[@303electronics]

Glad to help! Have a great day!

[@clauspeterknoll]

Watch out and don't move on too fast at time code 03:03: If you disconnect the small upper white cable on the back on the left side, you will run in to the problem of not getting it back in. Congratulations to myself. 😲🤯

[@303electronics]

Thank you for the "heads up"!

[@mrreese00]

So... How did you get it back in? Asking for a friend😬

[@clauspeterknoll]

1. I bought a bent tweezer (16 cm) from Amazon for 5.99 Eur. 2. I wrapped a very little piece of ductape around the end of the cable right before the contacts for a better grip for the tweezer onto the cable and for more stiffness of the cable. 3. Put the cable between the tweezer, hold very tight and put the cable back in. You probably need to take off the lid of the printer as well as the long plastic cover (watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKjImqaJf9eCmJI - Timecode 6:55 - 7:23) 4. It took a few attemps but after about 10 trial and errors I got it back in, yeahhh! Once I also tried to take the whole printer apart which took me about 2 hours and another hour to put it back together. But I would not recommend that because after that it made strange sounds and did not work anymore. Enjoy the process! ;-)

Am I the only person that can’t get this small wire reconnected

[@pistolwhipped7714]

While working on mine, the white hinge for the lid has jammed its way back when I pulled the top off, and is now stuck not allowing me to reconnect the top, I would suggest not taking the scanner lose, I am spending more time trying to fix this then I did unclogging the head, and it was bad. Where is the easy button.

[@Iceberk_]

Hi , first of all thank you very much for the video. I changed the printhead of my epson WF-2630, but after that the printer showed Scan error 00 ... do you have an idea how to fix this?

[@christophersimon2218]

I supose the wire removed from the conector ( min 2:04)

[@MNCasaPro]

Me too. Where you able to fix it?

[@juntjoonunya9216]

So I've taken two of these out and one the top half of the printhead broke off pulling a tube off the nipple, the second I took out and it also broke the same way but I didn't force it. I just carefully lifted it off. They should be tightly connected or not? If so you think I could glue them together?

[@vitalpellet]

WHERE CAN YOU FIND an Epson WF-2630 WF printhead?

[@carmelacassano4662]

kindly i would like to know if you have a video that shows you how to remove and replace the carriage of the epson wf-2510 printer cartridges? if there is, kindly can you give me the link? Thank you

[@303electronics]

Currently I do not have a video of a carriage replacement, but I will see if I can have a successful replacement and will post a video if I do. Thank you very much. Have a great weekend!

[@norma9680]

Can I print in black only if another color is missing?

[@303electronics]

Hi. If one of the ink cartridges is missing or empty, you will not be able to print anything.

[@clauspeterknoll]

Thanks for the video! I got problems putting the lid back on. The parts on the right side on the rear of the printer just don't go back together. Looks like the white part, where the screws probably goes in, flipped back or so while removing. 🥲 Can anyone help?

[@303electronics]

I see what the problem may be. The spring loaded hinge on the right is either up or down. If it is up, the lid needs to installed at a 45 degree angle,

[@clauspeterknoll]

@@303electronics It worked at about 45 degree angle. Pushed it in, held it tight, put it down and screwed on again.

[@303electronics]

@@clauspeterknoll Yep! I'm sorry I didn't point that out in the video. Thank you very much for sharing. I'm glad you got it all set! Have a great day!

[@juntjoonunya9216]

I was putting alcohol through a syringe connected to the nipples down in there and pulling th e tube off detached the while piece on top breaking this seam with a gasket in between open. I can place it back on where it was but it's not sealed. Did I break it? Same exact model

[@303electronics]

I'm trying to figure out where the seam is that you are talking about. I honestly do not think that you damaged anything by what you are explaining, but I'll look at the printer once more to see if I can give advice. Thanks.

[@juntjoonunya9216]

@@303electronics you know those nipples which fit under the ink cartridges. It would be the top of the printhead I guess. Well it's it's own piece. If I'm not mistaken, a little plastic piece broke off from the printhead in guessing had fit into the nipple piece/face to hold it in place. Yeah, it seals to the top of printhead so the ink doesn't leak out in between. So there's an actual rubber I guess gasket. Under the nipples on the other side of place/face that is pressed in if plate is secured right. My eyes are bad so can't see how it's secured exactly till I get in there myself which I'll try to do today. Thanks

[@xpokemon]

Do you know if "scanning error" means that I didn't put the wire strips in correctly? I just did all steps in this video, turned it on, and the ink tray is able to glide across, so now I have them out on the track with the printer unplugged.

[@303electronics]

It may mean that. Check the connection and make sure pins on the connector are touching the golden side of the wire.

[@xpokemon]

@@303electronics thanks I appreciate the reply. Checked them again and same thing. "Scanner error."* Too bad... thanks for the video though. I have a WF-2540. Guess I'll have to toss it.

[@SurjitSingh-nm6cm]

Thainku so much nice

[@bg4406]

i have the wf2530, sometimes it prints with lines on letters, after i do a clean head cycle it solves it just for a few print jobs than starts to do it again, I've had this printer for over 10 years, that sponge thingy inside that looks like ink is on it, what is that? do i have to replace that sponge?

[@RachaelPowellx]

Helpful but my scanner wire came out so had to work out how to get that back in, and my lid won't sit on straight. I tried to force it on and I think I broke the hinge but it still works

[@Terrasylum]

I somewhat have this issue. I can't find where the right side of the top connects to the bottom. I'm thinking it's that white piece but it doesn't move so I'm not entirely sure it's that. Nothing else on the right side of the bottom pivots

[@christitucker2113]

I broke my print head nozzle on my 2630 can it be replaced

[@303electronics]

Do you mean the tip that cartridge goes over? If so, I do not know how that can be fixed. It is less likely gluing it will be a good idea. You may need to replace the printhead altogether. I'm sorry

[@SomarDee]

It seems that these have a tendency for the nozzle to break . The tip of my nozzle broke off about 3 weeks after purchase. With only enough pressure to place the cartridge. I see good amount of post with this issue. I never had the time to return the item or repair it until now several years later. 😮 My feed nozzle broke on the black ink. Brand spanking new. Smh. Thanks for the video. This video was the only one that was able to help me figure out exactly what to press to remove the chip board. The hardest part was finding where to press. 😅

[@encostablanca]

Where did you buy the new head?

[@303electronics]

Printheads are available on ebay and amazon. Just search your printer model

[@PerrynTracyBeard]

In taking the printhead out I mistakenly unplugged the back ribbon connection. I am having problems reconnecting it. Is there an easy way to reconnect?

[@alternistronx]

get yourself some small tweezers to align it and then push gently with the finger so all the force is applied to the blue "robust" part of the ribbon cable

Thank you for sharing this info. However, I do not share the same opinion since such information is not proven.

[@lucaesteban]

you could have given us a tip or a heads up to put that back and not just stop the recording and start again when it was connected.

[@jennymisteqq5399]

You should’ve explained how to “tell” the printer you’re replacing the ink cartridge. You just kept pressing the buttons without telling us which, exactly, buttons you were pressing! And you got ad revenue because of me and didn’t help me!

[@Paul_Marek]

WF-2860 is NOTHING like this. WTF.

[@303electronics]

WF-2860 is different. I do have one and can make a video on printhead replacement. Will post video soon.

[@MNCasaPro]

Now I get a snanner error 😢

[@303electronics]

The scanner wire needs to be reconnected to the main board. The side cover removes to do that. When you open the top too far, it may cause the scanner wire to disconnect from main board.

[@MNCasaPro]

Yes, it did disconnect. Tried to put it back in, but it didn't work. I'll rewatch a teardown video to see about removing the side. Thanks@@303electronics

[@jh8320]

Now I have error 0x9E

[@matthewpaolini]

This is not the way you replace the cartridges. You do not have to take anything apart. Refer to this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqvFfGSEmMSNeZI

[@Planet_Shel]

This video is to show you how to take out the printhead either to clean or to put in a replacement. The cartridges have to come out first in order to do what this video is about.😊
