I'm and Electrical Engineer with over 30 years experience in computer technology, and especially in Flex cables. I don't think it is anykind of electrical problem because I know I did not stress flex cable. Somehow it senses this and knows the printhead or something is not seated. IF there is any leak anywhere in there, I suspect that the cleaning cycle that pulls ink can't get a vacuum to pull. The screws that clamp these to parts together are very small and have very little torque, and so is the gasket and the tiny holes in the ceramic printhead. I think what is happening to my printhead is that it is very difficult to re-seal the ceramic printhead to the rubber gasket that is between the ink tanks and the Ceramic printhead. I tried the drip method first but gave up when I could not get one drop of water past the Magenta nozzle. If I were you, I would continue with the slow but steady drip, drip, drip, cleaning process you are doing. After several tries at getting into Service Mode, which also failed, the printer still will not come "Ready", and won't communicate to the PC.

The first time I had installed it, I was able to access the print driver from the PC and select a deep cleaning cycle and actually printed a nozzle check. When I turned it back on, it did nothing, especially didn't ask for a new Printhead. I tried the suggestion at the Canon Support site, and I tried your suggestion on removing the printhead and then turn off the printer. Canon says this is a Printhead not installed correctly code. It immediately came up with 5 orange blinks and the Green ready light would never come on again. The bottom line is the printhead didn't work once I put it back in the printer. While the flex was tight it came up without too much struggle. I put the head back together as instructed. I was albe to clean it out and see daylight through the nozzles. The process was rather simple and I found the clog not where he had found his but in the ceramic part of the head. It is basically identical to the i560 for printhead cleaning. The one that covers the ip3000, 4000, etc. One of the things I did was to perform the cleaning that you just mentioned above in one of your post. I've made a new thread with all the details in the inkjet General forum. I have an i560 that has a completely clogged Magenta head. Lillia, First let me thank you for all your posts.

I have backup i560's but I'm not sure I want to install that printhead in any other printer, and since I have a backup printhead, I'm not sure I want to try it in this printer. The carriage will move to the center of the printer when you open the cover.ġ2. Since these printers can be serviced without a PC, how do I force it into Service MOde if there is no green light. now it will not respond to any function from PC.ġ1. Pulled power plug, re-incerted, re-installed printer to PC. At least this tells me the power led is still working.ġ0.
Attempt to enter service mode gave me one Blink of orange light. Would not go to service mode since no Green lite under any mode. Tried to use Resume/Power function enter "Service MOde". printer responds with blank white page.ĩ. check printer monitor status= Printer online, paper position OK, INK levels up in all inks, try one more nozzle test print. Printer moved the paper and sounded like it was standard print routine. I did a couple more deep cleanings since when I cleaned the printhead, all ink was removed.ħ. But the PC can still see the printer and I was able to command the printer to do a deap cleaning and it did it. (has not come on since it gave me the 5 orange blinks. REmoved and reinstalled all ink carts and printhead. Printer light blinks orange 5 times (which according to Canon web site= Printhead not installed properly.)ĥ. Installed in printer with good ink carts. Cleaned, rinsed, dried, and re-assembled.Ĥ. Disassemble Printhead per instruction of Niffy-Stuff forum.įound that Magenta head totally clogged. Remove printhead, clean, soak in Windex, dry, reinstall. Nozzle test shows all other colors are just fine.Ģ. I560 Priner has clogged Magenta printhead.
