Ho beloved IT person ! How did you so expertly repair my printer ?

With a sponge.

(it's also a real workaround, that reeeeally work, I tried a few things but that one "just did the part" without much tweaking. And also I love the idea of putting a dirty sponge in there. https://chriswoods.co.uk/2019/08/canon-pixma-paper-feed-roller-problems-diy-sponge-fix/)

The replacement gear came in & It works like a charm!

Unfortunately, while it goes through the motions, nothing actually prints on the paper. Previously the head had a lot of dried ink on it. I suspect there's dried ink inside somewhere.

Is there a good way to go about cleaning the printhead? Could I soak it in hot water or some cleaning solution?

Anyone familiar with #Canon #pixma power supply #ElectronicsRepair ? The #k30351 #adb0250620G labeled power supply should output 24 and 36 V, but it outputs 10,8 and 8V. The power supply IC NCP1236 is switching but only once every 3 milliseconds for one short pulse. Supply voltage for the SMPS IC is stable in the "happy" region acc. to the datasheet (~15V).

I already replaced the supply cap for the IC as the ESR was "high" (~5 Ohms). This was plugged in 24/7 for 10 years so that capacitor served a fair amount of current pulses.

I'll try to load the output to check if the feedback loop is actually closed and if it just regulates for the wrong output. Maybe the TL431 is unhappy. Another thing I'll try is to back-feed the output while off and check if there is output on the primary side of the optocoupler. Those tests should indicate if the SMPS IC is unhappy for some reason.

Diodes, fuses, transistors are ok and actually this is a relatively simple SMPS, no PFC, no fancy filters...

Dear Mastodon hivemind - cartridges for my Canon PIXMA MP240 printer are getting ever more expensive.

I tend to buy the PG-512 and CL-513 carts, but oof they be pricey now. And so many after-market 'compatibles' where I don't know whether I can trust them to work.

Has anyone had good experiences with those ink refill kits, that come with a little hand drill and syringes?
