Bad reset on CLI-226 cartridge chip

[seseeley]

I have a Canon Pixma MX892 that I use CLI-220 cartridges with chips replaced from CLI-226 cartridges. I've reset the chips and refilled the cartridges several times and everything has worked out great.

Yesterday I replaced a cartridge in the printer but the refill didn't register as full with the printer. I tried doing a chip reset on the full cartridge with the chip resetter but this didn't help. I tried 3 times. The first 2 attemps the resetter flashed once. The 3rd attempt the resetter flashed many times very fast.

Is there a way to recover these chips? What does it mean when the resetter flashed many times very fast?

Thanks,
Steve

If the chip is bad then NO. If the resetter needs fresh batteries then MAYBE.

Might be worth changing the batteries. The don't last forever. Or wait and see what happens with future resets of other cartridges.

Replacing the resetter batteries fixed the reset on the cartridge. Thanks.

YW. Glad to hear things are good again.
