Could you explain how you fill the dampers again?

Hello! Your videos and website have been a lifesaver for working out the kinks in my ET-8550, and I really appreciate it! The one thing I still haven't figured out how to fix is that my printer often grinds as it tries to retrieve the next sheet of paper from the rear paper feed. Have you found a solution to this, or at least what causes it? If you've already made something about how to fix this, I may have missed it. I really appreciate your help!

my brand new 8550 doesn't hold ink straight out of the box, I tried putting some bk in and it just leaks out the bottom. cool.

Hello Kevin, Do you take walk in repairs? I’m right down the road and have a 7720 that needs fixing. Thank you so much for your channel

[@cherylharlan8983]

Do the rubber seals need to go in a particular order? Or any one can be used anywhere?

I need help with my ink not flowing through the lines to the print head. Only 1 color is doing this even after so many different kinds of cleans and maintenance

I have a question about an Epson L14150 I got for dirt cheap because the scanner stopped working. At first I thought it was a simple loose flex cable but it turns out that was only the start.
The gears inside the scanner itself are loose and a small triangular tab is flopping around and I have no idea what the correct way to put them back in place is. I've looked for manuals or pictures on how to put everything in it's proper place but so far haven't found any.
When the I turn the printer on the scanner self check fails almost immediately and the scanner light can't move.
Thanks!

It's quite common for those scanners. Somebody put it upside-down and shook it. I will make a video for how to fix those.

do you ship to mexico?

[@BCHTechnologies]

Apologies, at this time we do not provide shipping services to Mexico. While we ship to 219 countries and territories globally, Mexico, Greece, Ukraine, and Russia are not included. We aim to resume shipping to Ukraine and Russia once the conflict is resolved, however, Mexico and Greece will continue to be excluded from our shipping destinations. If you have a friend who can receive the order within the US, we would be happy to ship to that address.
