    On the newer PIXMA TS5150 it's "press 20 times" not 5 times. And it worked!

    YOU ARE THE BEST! Luckily it wasn't garbage collection this week as my Canon MG5420 would have become landfill. I had the dreaded B200 error message. After replacing all the ink cartridges (generic) and performing various reset versions, I gave up. Then I found yours! Your hard reset did the trick! Thank you so much for your video...I've subscribed!

  • @freyahenry8882
    @freyahenry8882 4 года назад +2

    I have just tried this for a B203 error code on my Canon MG7550 and IT WORKED!! I located the STOP button and marked it with a dry marker (only illuminates when power is switched on) so that I knew where to push before I pressed the power button. Then I followed all the steps, the only difference being that I had to turn the machine off myself as it didn’t shut down at the end of the process. Once I turned it on again....TA DAH!!
    Thank you for preventing another machine from ending up in landfill!

I had to rest mine and I really didn't remember how. Thank you for your video. Sometimes, people have to reset several times before it will work... try to have patience people. It took me several tries since the night before but today after watching a part of this video... I tried again and it worked : )

    Many Thanks for previous reply.
    Ok Please let me ask a differently.
    Is there a fix to access the ink cartridges, which are presently hiding to the far left and inaccessible?
    What happens:
    1.On Powering up the printer:
    _ the green power light flashes a few times
    _amber ink alert light commences to flash in rep's of 8, (green power light becomes stable).
    2. On opening the drop down door to access the ink cartridges:
    _ the triangle-amber light goes out.
    _power button green light begins to flash continuously until it's powered off.
    _the ink cartridges do not return to an access position.
    _they will alternate from one side of ink carriage to the other with each repeat of power on / off while the door is down.
    When printer is connected to the computer the printer app advises that printer is offline. This occurred after a low ink level warning.
    Hopefully there is a simple answer ??

I've tested the aftermarket ink for color and durability and they match the Canon ink drop per drop! But, all of a sudden, after a recent software update, my printer suddenly stopped printing altogether! 🤔 I've attempted deleting the printer from the menu and adding it again, cleaned print heads, cleaned roller, cleaned tray...

    Hi ... tried this on a mg6863 but not much happening after pressing 5 times the stop button and releasing the on button ... is the procedure for the 6853 slightly different ? Many thanks

    I have followed you example several times but the message that is on the printer screen states: B200 Printer error has occurred. Unplug the power cord and contact the service center. What is you recommendation?

    I have a MG7650. There is no stop button to access when the printer is off. Any idea how to do a hard reset on this model?

    For the 5b00 error code stop needs to be pressed four times instead of five times after the initial third step in the hard reset process

    Hi, tried this and another method (very similar) on my MG2500 (no screen/display) but after the first step of pressing the stop button 5 times, when it stops, if I press the power button again it simply turns off. Any idea on what to do?
    Thanks xx
