I wonder if it is a better more up to date chip resetter than the http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231206243934 ones you can get on eBay for half the price.

I don't know. I did buy an unavailable in the uk dvd from amazon spain the other day and they sent it to me abroad ok. (English audio as well as spanish). So they do sometimes ship abroad. Otherwise if you go to google.es and search for brother lc123 v2 (assuming that is your cartridge) Then...

Well pleasantly surprised http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RKK785I/ the version 2 ink cartridges worked! So far I have just put in the black and it was detected just as normal! So hopefully they will catch on and in six months the market will be flooded with v2 cartridges for under a pound again...

Yup, looks like you were right. The black cartridge, a fake with the original chip tacked to it, now says it is empty despite being nearly full yesterday. Sigh. I guess it was just on a timer. I have ordered the v2 cartridges from amazon. I'm not wildly optimistic but you never know. Whether...

Oh dear in a foolish weak moment I let it update its firmware after being frustrated that the wifi networking borked every time it went to sleep and woke up. Didn't help either. Still it still works for the moment. As theorised I may have been fooling myself that it was working anyway... Will...

Uh oh. So far my chips from the original bundled cartridges are blue tacked onto fake cartridges and it is working fine. They are still pretty full though. I hope they are not suddenly going to hit a counter and say no more printing... I wondered if I had fooled them by repeatedly trying to get...

Grrr. I was impatient and peeled off the original chip and scotch taped it to the compatible cartridge despite logic saying it would not work. But it did. I am now printing the remainder of my Christmas cards again? So did I just get lucky? Why would anyone buy a brother chip resetter if they...

I recently accepted my canon mp510 with a chip resetter and squeezy bottle inks is at the end of its life. Five years or more and thousands of pages its rather streaky. I bought a brother DCP-J132W as there seemed to be lots of well reviewed compatible ink cartridges and I did not want to spend...

Thankyou for the thoughts but I think its had it. Shaking it upside down produced a penny and a sim card but did not otherwise help. Sliding folded foil around the printer head did not help. The service mode had no effect other than saying it was in service mode. Brute force did not shift...

Thank-you for that. I assume asf is the auto sheet feeder? Unfortunately as the head seems fixed over the purge pad there does not seem any easy way to check it. Unless they can figure out a way to get it to move we seem to be stuffed. I may suggest playing with the service mode options just...

No sorry. The broken printer won't do anything. I have an identical model on which I tested and confirmed the service mode hack worked. My brothers broken printer displayed the service mode message on the screen but after turning it off and on was back to the same 6a80 problem. The print head...

My brother says his canon mp520 started dragging paper in skewed and now it just shows error 6a80 and refuses to do anything. The print head has parked itself to the right hidden under the carapace and appears stuck, opening the lid does not make it move into position it just sits there. So he...

Hmm, well I looked in the kitchen cupboard. What do you reckon on vodka, warm water and a dash of household ammonia. Dunk the printer head in and leave overnight. I have an old stopped up canon printer and am tempted.

A few years ago my canon printer came with a separate slip of paper saying please don't do this. There could not guarantee there wouldn't be ink or chemical in the printhead that are not intended for eating. I assumed it was more about liability then actual danger but it does show enough people...
