So, my Pro-100 is giving me the 4 flash error. I purchased it over a year ago second hand. It arrived with part of the print head holder broken off. It was a small piece on the top right of the mechanism where the gray bar inserts on the right side into that circle hole. Anyway, I successfully placed the broken piece into place and it's been working fine until this weekend. When it broke again, I decided to glue it, and I was holding it in place by wedging two Q-tips into a void on the right side of the print head holder that moves back and forth when you print. (The attached image is me attempting to recreate what caused the error after the fact, and without the piece that I glued back on) The next time I tried it, I forgot to remove the Q-tips, and it proceeded to bang the side with the q-tips on the right side where it goes to rest. Since then, it is still giving me 4-flashes, but it's like there has been no power to the entire print head contraption. The q-tios were up against 4 blue wires so I'm not sure if one of those got loose (they don't feel loose). Regardless, the print head no longer lights up any of the tanks and has yet to make any left or right movements. Can you guys help me figure out what's wrong? I've only had her like 1-year now and it's way too soon to pull the plug on her. Thank youl
