I apologize for that. Last week I posted a printer dismantling video for newer model WF-3720, which has the similar printhead. Link to that video below. Printhead removal part is at minute 9:00 mark. ruclips.net/video/0OBwjbScn8M/видео.htmlsi=Hunr1tXVnlOZp_Df
There were several steps that you just made happen, without showing in detail. Taking the cover off to access the print head is fairly simple, and could have been shown. The controller board has some tabs that could be depressed through holes, which allows the board to come out quite easily. The print head does not "slam right in there". There are some alignment pins that need to be aligned to the print head.
Do not remove the Cartridge CHIP Board how he did, you may break it. There is a hole is hidden behind the white plastic channel on the left side . Use a L shaped pick tool to press the clip in the hole. You can bend a little the white channel to expose the hole.
Thanks for this, but my printer still won't print, so I guess the print head wasn't the problem.. I took out the print head, cleaned and dried it, and put everything back together the next day. I still had the same problem as before, only now instead of patchy printing, it won't print at all. I don't know if it's because I broke something or what, but I think it's time for a new printer anyway.
How do you clean the actual print heads once they are out? I have run cleaning solution thru them while in the printer (blotter paper underneath) but the Black still only prints about every other line, frustrating. I assume if I take the printhead out I should brush it with or soak it in cleaning solution, or warmed up cleaning solution? Please advise, thank you.
I use a syringe with a tube from an aquarium air hose, about 2 inches. I use "LA's Totally Awesome " cleaner dilluted about 50/50 with warm water. You can soak the bottom of the printhead in the solution overnight or for a few hours. The unfortunate outcome may be that the nozzles are damaged if, after a thorough cleaning, there are still blocked nozzles.
i removed the head, and cleaned it, now i replaced everything, but the printer will ,ont power up. there is a little red light in the bottom left, so there is some kind of power. but the power on button does nothing. is there anything i might have inadvertenly, disconnected?
Hi, yes, the scanner wire may have disconnected when younlifted the top of printer further than usual, if you removed the stop support unit. You can open the side cover and reconnect the wire. You should be able to see the disconnected wire as soon as you remove the cover. The cover should be on the same side as the USB connection.
i removed the cover, and all the wires seem to bein the proper places. might you have any other ideas. might there be a fuse. thanks again.@@303electronics
agree, i can't find how to "unclip" the contact board and can't see what you did. Is there a metal clip or a detent or .... I don't know what I'm trying to do. I see you had to try several times so it's less than straightforward. So removing the piece is a stopper but I'll keep trying but feel like I'll break something before I get it out. Printer isn't working now do nothing lost if I do break it some more.
Hello. According to RUclipsrs that post sublimation work videos, yes, WF-3620 and WF-3640 printers can be converted to sublimation ink setup. If you have a used printer, I'd recommend flushing the printhead before introducing sublimation ink. You don't have to take the printhead out if nozzles are working fine now.
I have Ed-3620 any time I try to print I get paper jam even when I try to copy When I start I check no paper ham This happen suddenly I call Epson they told me as always you need buy new printer Anybody know to fix this problem I am student I have limited budget
just what i needed to swap out my print head....only took 20mins....thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
unclip how? because all I can see is the back of your hand
Thanks. Able to clean my head to perfection. Saved me £80 for a new printer.
You took out the print head but didn't show it . It would have been nice for some people to see it upclose. Great job!!!!
Lol you were covering what you were trying to show us with your hands 😂

I appreciate you pointing this out for me. I will make sure to be more detailed in my future videos. Have a great weekend!

Great video...just what I needed to clean my print head, thank you!

I appreciate your comment very much. I have learned it later, after making this video. Have a great day!

thanks for responding...i don{t see a wire, do i have to remove the scaner unit to get to it_@@303electronics

Brilliant
Thanks! Have a great weekend!
You coulnt possibly tangle those white leads
They are folded in places which help avoid tangling.
I did this and now my printer is not working, please help
Where you able to fix this problem? I’m having issues as well
be nice to see what you're doing instead of the back of you're hands
Thanks for the suggestion, I am working to improve the camera position. I'm sorry for the lack of detail visibility.

Hey. Are either of these 2 printers convertible to sublimation ?

Anybody know to fix this problem
I am student I have limited budget
I mean Epson we-3620

Not very easy for sure.
Sloppy camera work, poor planning, amateur video
Thank you for sharing your opinion. Will keep that in mind for future videos. Have a great day!
