hey what's going on everyone a couple years ago I bought a laser printer of color on slick deals I
think I only paid like 70 or 80 bucks for it and it was one of those Rico c250 d-ends I believe or
SPC 250s I forgot what the exact model number was but anyway I've been using it for a couple years
and the toner finally ran out recently before the toner ran out that actually that the chips on them
actually quit counting I mean that they have a chip on them that keep track of how many pages
and how much you print and then they basically disable it so you don't you can't print afterwards
to it anyway so I reset a couple months back and I started using it I ran out of toner so finally I
got around to actually buying toner off of Amazon and today I'm gonna go over how to take it apart
and you know fill it up and put it back together so as you can see here these are the three toners
I ordered off Amazon I think I paid 40 bucks for them so you got the red the blue or magenta blue
yellow and then black which i think is not those I mean those are the close enough colors are like
cyan magenta and whatever yellow is and I think it's just yellow but anyway and this is the black
cartridge so I'll go over the black cartridges today and how to take it apart it's the same
for all for them here's a chip on the side right there that that keeps track of the count on the
pages for the toner you could usually pay like twelve thirteen dollars extra for the ones that
come with a chip and then you cut the old chip off and then you stick the new chip on and then
tape it back on I actually bought the little the ten dollar programmable board that I was able to
load the program onto and then I made a little 4 pin connector that I actually just touch those
four pins right here and then I write to it from a computer to reset it I'll go over that once I've
done with refilling this toner first thing you want to do is just wrap your cartridge with a
paper towel so you could protect the drum on here just wrap it with a piece of paper towel and then
use some rubber bands or in my case just the girls hair ties and put it over this just good
enough to cover the two screws on this so you got two sides here so you want to take the sides off
with without the without the chip on it just just using my right off careful with all that toner
so actually that wouldn't have dumped that anyway just have a vacuum nearby you clean up
the big mess like I did you can start filling it up so the first thing you got to do is pop
the cap off right here so easy just use a plier and then once the hole is open then
you just start filling it up for the black I got this one what I would recommend this
thing comes with a tiny nozzle just cut cut the nozzle all the way at the bottom oh wait
that's the hole bigger and then that way it makes it easier once you get to the bottom
of the key do is just let it flow out of the bottle lightly don't don't push it too hard
on the other hand two popped out of the holes I have to realign the hole anyway
yeah make sure that the pens here are aligned line up everything on this side
should pop in pretty easily do that screws screw back on
now that I've got all the toner filled up for all these cartridges you got to reset the chips
on them so what I end up using is the our Dino uno and the version I have is just the generic
$10 one I found on Amazon I think it's made by what Allegro but it's all it's got the same chip
to the same programming capability as original car do knows there are dunno the original ones
about 20 22 dollars and this about half the price and it does the same thing in order for
me to set the chip I had to create a little pen thing that touches the four pins on the toner
cartridge as you can see I just used some old pins from one of my electronic kits and then I
but connected them to a piece of wire into there and then just to make the contacts on the actual
board itself you've got several different pin outs on here so I've got color-coded like red
is for 5 volts black is from ground and then I've got the a4 and a5 line or the data lines
that one's a clock and one's a data line so I got this off of another youtuber and some guys
online that have done this already so you know if you want to see that video from I think it's
giy tinker or one of those guys he has a pretty good video about it but that's all I did and I
actually used is used to his program that he had on his YouTube and he actually has all the
code all you have to do is go in here and change right up here he's got all the comments for you
483 for black 82 for cyan you want for magenta and 80 for yellow so all you do is change the
address number right here loaded through the there are Dino get it make sure your you could
actually run it I think out his instructions he just has me he lets it run and then it hits the
reset button once he has the pins touching the toner cartridge so that's all you really need
to do and it it's pretty quick I think it has another window that shows you the readout the
read in and read out so I'm gonna go ahead and try to do that now and see how it works
after programmed everything drop it yeah I saw your cartridges in there
close the lid
login to the webpage can't make sure all the toner is all reset
on the pages I logged into the printer it looks like all the settings that all
reset back to zero all the cartridges show that they're full everything looks
like it's good so I'm gonna print a test page and make sure everything's
like that baby turned out nice and perfect laser print alright well
thanks for watching guys I feel like my video please like share and subscribe and just look
out for my videos on cars and other tech stuff around the house thanks for watching
