Canon Printers Current Ebay prices

The most resetters for the PGI-5/CLI-8 cartridges use either a single CR2032 Lithium coin cell or 3 alkaline button LR41 cells. The unloaded voltage of a new lithium coin cell is around 3.30 V and for a new alkaline button cell it is around 1.55 V. So your new battery/ies is/are defective, probably being too old. I suggest to buy a new battery or new batteries and try again.

i've had a few PGI5/CLI8 battery based re-setters over the past 15 years with replaceable batteries. some have a sticker over the back 4 screws. i also have a USB resetter that can reset both PGI5/CLI8's and PGI220/CLI221's as well. the battery ones seem to work better.

good to hear there are some others still printing/refilling the older canon printers, build quality was much better back in the day

my current(dinosaur fleet) of active printers are:
- MX700(2007)
- MP980(2008)
- MX870(2010)
- PRO-100(2013)

still going strong, at 2,043 refills over 15 years

Do you know of anyone still selling chip resetters for these printers that work?

It’s a pity @jru didn’t come back and let us know how he got on..
Any feedback is better than none..
