What would the consequences be of opening up the printhead itself and trying to clean it with an air compress? would that have a chance or would that be the end of it all together?

Today I have performed some tests with iP4850 (printer-only equivalent for MG5250) and two "Error U052" affected printheads.

None was forced to work with procedure mentioned post earlier. Something important is missing in description I guess :(

If temperature control circuit is broken, then is no help for the printhead.
Cleaning or so does not help in such condition (cleaning can recover printhead on initial stages of sort-circuit, before damaging tcc).

One guy was able to put diode to close broken circuit in QY6-0059 printhead but, after initial success, suffered "Error 6500" in return :eek:
