Wonderful!! Worked a treat. I was a little skeptical, but gave it a go and it's worked great. !!! Top quality video! Update - two months following the repair, still working amazing. It's very satisfying and overall saved on the expense of a new printer!
You just saved another printer from going to the recycle bin! Thank you for your video. You can add the MFC-J4410DW to your list. That's what I have, and your instructions were all applicable. (On the MFC-J4410DW I had to enter the codes using the printer's numerical keypad.)
I've never really fixed anything like this before but I followed the steps and wah lah! my printer is fixed! Thank you for the step by step instructions. I also wrestled getting my prop arm back in but figured it out and my nails are all black but I am so happy to keep using this printer but more happy that I was able to do it myself.
Cheers Terry. Sorted this ink reservoir problem on a 4610 here in the UK, so a bit far to bring to you to sort. Hope the weather has improved your end and thanks muchly for a great video.
Thank you. I have the 4320 and there's only 2 cables to unplug and no ground wire. I just replaced the ink absorber, zeroed out the purge counter and all is good. Thank you
OMG thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I managed to repair our Brother DCP-J4120DW using your video. There were a couple of differences with cord color and clips vs screws, but with your detailed instructions I managed to work it all out appropriately. Printer up and running again here in wet New Zealand. Will send you a gift to your pay pal link.
Thank you, yes when it is wet and raining lots the absorber pad doesn't get a chance to evaporate the water content in the waste ink collected in the pad resulting in this error message. It is important to dry the pads right out before reassembly if you live in a wet climate.
Well, this was an almost perfect video. The only thing wrong with it was you didn't explain how to remove that stupid scanner carriage prop arm if it isn't already broken! 🙂 Sadly (and kind of embarrassingly) it took me almost as long to figure out how to take that arm off so I could remove the carriage as it did for me to complete the rest of the job! 😞 For those like me, the top end of that prop arm rides inside a plastic guide. That plastic guide seats in the carriage at the front of the printer and clips into place in the rear. Just open the carriage until the arm stops it and unclip the rear end of the guide and pull straight down. It will come right out.
Thanks for you tip on removing the prop arm. I couldn't see how to disengage it without breaking something. It released easily and went back even easier when I was reassembling. I took the easy way out and bought a new absorber pad. I saved the old one, and will try cleaning it for next time.
Brilliant, and appreciate that this repair didn't cost a single cent (well maybe for the piece of packing tape) Thanks for taking the time for such as extensive instructional guide!
Great vid, thanks - works on MFC-J4510DW. Only thing for me was I didn't get the foam pads dry enough as I ran out of time, and got a warning that the ink absorber pad almost full straight away. Hopefully it'll dry out over the next few days.
Looks like I jumped the gun a bit. The printer now has a new problem. It said to replace the yellow and black ink cartridges which I did with new cartridges bought from Office Works. It however now says it does not detect the yellow or black cartridges and to remove them and reinsert slowly which does not fix the problem. Added to this, looking at the little window on the new black cartridge it seems to be empty! As if all the black ink has been drained out? So while I was pleased yesterday that it printed, it was not actually printing black!
@@louisvangraan1012 Our inks for the printer $38 for the LC 237BK high capacity and $28 each ymc lc235 high capacity. Officeworks generally only sells the low capacity LC233 which runs empty in as little as 4 head cleans and you do not touch the non-genuine inks that Officeworks sells I'll tell you why face to face but not in a public forum.
This video has been very useful to me. I just want to ask about that condensator. Is it easily replaceable, what are they called and what type? Mine is not fully working anymore, gives between 1,5 and 1,59 V. That might also be the reason why my printer has trouble to turn on / stay in sleep mode? Everything else works again!!! So I'm very grateful.
I have an MFC-J5520DW with an 11x17 paper feeder in the back attached to the scanner and I cannot figure out how to remove the scanner. Do I remove the tray? I can't find any videos on how to do that. Your help would be very much appreciated!
After following your procedure i get the error message that the scannercover is open. I checked everything but can't find what the problem is, have you any idea?
Thank you so much. how do you clean the print head now as there are alot of dots missing from the magenta and cyan when i print the test page and even after selecting printer nozzle clean
Thanks Terry, great instructional video! My MFC J4510DW printer was "NEAR FULL". I followed your instruction and we are successfully back printing, but after entering *2844# it went to the "MAINTENANCE" screen. I could not access the "PURGE" screen to reset. Before every copy I have to press the red "X" . Any ideas? Cheers, Graeme
@@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs Hi Terry. Sorry, typo, the number which you gave on your youtube was "*2864#", (not 2844 as per my earlier). As earlier message, it went to the maintenance screen, not the error screen. Cheers
Thanks for posting this helpful video. I accidentally crushed the capacitor chip on the board when removing the sensor board. Currently, it is replaced with appropriate parts. If you know the correct capacity, please let me know.
Hey Terry, first of all thank you for the great Video. Unfortunatley i messed something up. After reassembling i am getting a paper jam (front/back) error. Can you help me?
Hallo Terry, great Video. I like it much. Can you let me know the ordering information for the best cap. I guess I need to replace ohne in one of my printer. Thanks Walter
Hi Terry, Greetings from the UK. thank you for a most excellent video. I used it to sort out a MFC-J4510DW where the msg was: Ink absorber nearly full. I washed out the pads and all reassembled but the msg remains. I followed your instructions, but the purge count is already 0. How do I reset the warning please?
@@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs Thanks for your reply. I havent missed the point but my old ones are damaged and broken by my own fault so was wondering if you sell replacements or where I can buy a new one.

Hi Terry , Just watched your video on the ink absorber pad remedy and I have the 4625 model which I assume was after the model in your video . I was wondering if the codes you put in on the keypad were for all printers or is it specific to the one you repaired . Thanks David , in the UK .
Thank you very much. It was quite an adventure, but finally I succeeded. But now I have a another problem. No more error messages. The colours are printing fine. But the black colour does not print. When I print some black text, the printer prints , but the printed sheet is empty. I have tried another cartridge from a friend that does print ok on his printer. But this cartridge also gives no results on my printer, DCP J4110DW. Could you please help?
You have air in your black ink line instead of black ink. If you keep removing the cartridge and placing it back in the machine or swapping it with another you are forcing more air in. Watch this video to understand the principal and make sure you click on every ad that pops up. ruclips.net/video/kvmPKzuoOMU/видео.html
@@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs Hi Terry. That was also very instructive. I took the printer apart again, to see if I could see the air in the black tubes, but you can't see all of it unless you take the machine even further apart, which I did not want to do. So I cleaned the left filter some more, and pressed the black tube faster to the right waste pad. Put it together again and cleaned the black ink twice . Problem solved!
Your video helpt me very much best regrds from the Netherlands. I still have one question I can't get my mangenta color right, it looks like it is clogged. What can I do ? Thanks......😇
I have a brother j5320 with the same problem but it doesn't seem like it has a similar sensor to yours in the absorber pad's container. Do you know how it is detecting that the ink pad is full?
You can't find any help because you are a very special individual, You would be the 1st person worldwide to run one of these machines to the state of requiring waste maintenance. This means you have done an absolute shit ton of printing.
Great video! But I messed up something. I fully expected the printer to work when I plugged it in, but it gave me the message "Cover is open". "Please close the scanner cover". I thought I was careful with the wires. Is this a wire problem? I could not get to do the coding. Any thoughts? Thank you. (And again, it is a great video.)
