- Brother HL-L3270CDW
I have a Brother HL-L3270CDW color laser printer, and I've had it for a few years-ish.
The power went out a couple of times a while ago, and now the touch screen shows a white screen with a yellow banner, and all it says is: "No Toner".
What is interesting, however, is when I open the printer and remove a toner cartridge (doesn't matter which one), it will tell me to specifically put that cartridge back in. So it is recognizing the cartridges, but when all of the cartridges are installed, it just goes back to that message. Before the power outage, the printer was working fine. It has plenty of toner in each cartridge and was not showing this error. The only change that happened between it working and not working was the power outage.
During the process of troubleshooting, I went so far as to factory reset the printer, but even that did not fix the issue.
Before I write this printer off and get a replacement, I just wanted to run this up the flagpole and see if anyone might have some insight for fixing this issue. I am quite good with electronics and soldering components, etc., so I'm not averse to a fix that requires low-level work on the circuit boards if that becomes necessary.
Thank you,
