B110a black in still not working after trying all recommended solutions

Hi there
Black ink still not working after spending many hours trying to sort. I've cleaned the printhead carefull several times (is immaculate now) and run the system clean up and alignment functions several many times too. I've cleaned the metal connecting points. I wiggled things carefully. I've attempted printing multiple pages in b/w in case it was going to take a while to get the ink flowing again. I've replaced one (expensive) new black cartridge with another brand new (expensive) cartridge and still nothing. This machine is probably out of warranty but seriously not very old. It really ought to be working okay. We use it regularly a little bit every week. Any ideas?

The document here has troubleshooting steps that may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b110a.  Be sure to check the vents as shown in solution six, step three.  If the above does not resolve the problem the post here may help.

  • Flash player still not working after following all discussion advice

    Requested information:  I have Internet explorer 9/ using 32 bit on 64 bit computer/windows 7/flash player 10.2 version
    I contracted what my husband called a "rider" virus when I opened a knitting pattern of all things and if I understood it correctly was one of the anti-malware viruses talked about.  My husband was able to remove the virus but like others have said here, my flash player will not work.  My computer is only 3 months old!
    Here is what we have done:
    1: First removed all flash player and shock wave
    2: I have run a full scan with my Mcafee program, then ran a full scan and quick scan too with my malwarebytes program.  Everything in both is now clean.  I then rebooted (I also even tried doing all of this in safe mode too with nothing changing)
    3: came online and read a bazillion threads about others problems and tried every suggestion pretty much including those below
    4:  husband checked the kill bit (d27 thingy) and it was not there
    5: reinstalled flash player and shock after running the scans and though they show up in my programs when I looked at the add ons as suggest to others the
    neither shockwave or Flash Object was there
    6: uninstalled everything again
    So now I am back to where I started with nothing installed because I still have an issue and we don't know what it is.  I truly appreciate your help in any way as it is frustrating that none of the other suggestions have helped.
    this may not as my grandma used to say have anything to do with the price of rice in china, but we do keep getting a short freeze up on the computer followed by a message that the display driver stopped responding and recovered then it works again, but it does happen fairly frequently and this has been since the virus.  I am showing everything is clean though with regards to virus scans and malware spyware scans.

    Just when I thought I would finally find the answer you sent a message offline, which didn't help me a bit.
    I have the same problem.  My wife got a virus and I was able to uninstall it by poking around.  After killing the virus IE would not run.  I found some messages on the internet which enabled me to solve that problem by making some registry changes.  However, I still have not been able to get IE to run flash.  I do have it running in FireFox.
    What was the step that you sent in private email that enabled him top solve the problem?
    Thanks

  • Ipod Shuffle not working after trying all possible supports from Apple!!!!!

    I have an ipod shuffle and it has been working fine. It turns on and off and I can play music. Now all of a sudden I cannot connect my shuffle to my labtop through its usb port. It won't recognize it at all, it cannot be charged and I cant even attempt to put new songs on it. I am very angry with apple's service. I tried all things possible on their site and have continually requested repair service. I constantly get an unrecognized serial number every single time! I have copied it word for word and number for number over and over and over again. I can't even get one on one chat with a representative online because you guys don't recognize a serial number! This is just one big hassle and I don't feel like your service is very helpful at all. I love the Ipod and all it's accessories and other models but this is ridiculous. I even purchased the usb shuffle dock to try and see if it was my computer but it isn't. The dock doesnt recognize my shuffle either. I would appreciate it if Apple would just give me some kind of recognition and service me as a consumer please. I don't want to fill out some fax forms I don't even have a fax machine. Please help me figure out what's wrong or send me the things I need to send my shuffle in for repair thank you.

    Just a note, the limited warranty on the Ipod Shuffle is 1 year. So when I got invalid serial number when I entered the s/n I knew something was wrong. What I discovered was that the character that I thought was a zero was actually a "D" and the "5" was actually an "S". Once I entered the correct serial number the website told me how much time I have left under the warranty. They even knew the approximate date that I purchased it - even though I didn't register it. So use a magnifying glass, a younger set of eyes, whatever to make sure you're entering the correct S/N. Now I just have to figure out HOW to return it. Good Luck!

  • Hp5510 black ink still not working after two cartridge changes and hard reset

    Can you help?
    Our 5510 does not print the black ink, we have tried hard reset, two new genuine black printer cartridges and it still refuses to play ball. All other colours print ok.
    Thanks steve

    Hello @Bigeady860,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 5510, you are unable to print in black ink.
    I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
    Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
    If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks,
    HevnLgh

    My Apple TV does not work after trying to install the new software update. The main light keeps blinking rapidly and on the screen it shows the itunes icon and a USB cable. What does that mean?

  • Error message 1161, tried all recommended solutions by Apple.

    Error message 1161, tried all recommended solutions by Apple.
    For about 3 weeks, my iPod would retain charge when plugged in, but wouldn't charge. Just today, I used it until the battery completely drained, and it started to restore when I plugged it in, but then I got this "Unknown Error 1161". I tried all of the recommended solutions by Apple, and it didn't work. I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, I restarted my computer, used a 2.0 USB port, nothing works. Please help.

    Is it possible you're using a case-sensitive file system on your new mac?
    Can you make sure you've got the latest version of Adobe AIR installed?

    The new beta version is unlikely to have this problem.

  • Flash still not working after enabling it on windows 8.1?

    I followed the instructions on the help section and enabled flash, however it is still not working. I then tried to download it and the page takes me to the instructions on how to enable it.
    I have just bought a  new laptop and it is fully updated with 8.1.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Flash Player is actually built into Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and 8.1.  There is nothing for you to download or install from Adobe.
    From the description of the problem, it sounds like you're going to a website and getting a message that Flash Player cannot be found.
    On most sites, there is JavaScript that determines what version of your browser and Flash are installed, so that it can determine what content to show you.  In Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft changed the string that identifies Internet Explorer to those scripts, and it's very likely that the website you're visiting needs to make adjustments to accommodate the change.  There will probably be a bumpy transition period as major web properties notice the problem and fix it.
    In the meantime, Mike's suggestions are good.  Use Compatibility Mode or an alternate browser.  You may also want to contact the website (particularly if they're a small shop) to let them know about the problem.  You're on the early end of the adoption curve, and they might need a head's up.
    Thanks!

  • Iphone 4s camera still not working after replacing and restore?

    I bought phone with back camera not working so first i done a restore and update to no avail, then done a restore as new phone still no joy, so i decided to buy new camera which i fitted no problems but its still not working? what else can i do as there is no warranty on the phone?

    Find a third-party repair shop with experience in fixing iPhone cameras. Apple won't help you.
    Be aware, since Apple does not sell iPhone parts, there is no legitimate source for such, & many on the market are counterfeit.

  • Creative zen V+ still not working after coming back from assistance for the second ti

    hallo, what thje hell is happening with creative Zen V+ I got it back from assistance for the second time and it's still not working!!!!!!!!!!! I want my money back now, I'm gonna spam the whole of the internet with this unfunny joke, what the hell I'm suppoised to do I really fed up, since I bought the unit it worked for less than one month and for another one it's been back to the assistance for two times!!!! And still it's not working!!!! Now let me tell you this creative zen V + is a worthless, costly, cheap piece of crap, and I mean crap, what the hell am I supposed to do now Send it back for the third time 249 euros for this crappy piece of cheapo plastic Please is it allowed me to send it back and having in change some olther player I don't mean it to be trendy or flashy or all of the usual marketing **bleep** coming with these, I just want a player that actually play my music, a player I can load all my music without the application to freeze, the player to freeze and me having to format and reboot again and again. Is it creative capable to accomplish such task, do they still know how to build an mp3 player that actually work without me having to buy and install windows vista Or they don't Do creative have some old player still in stock zen touch wasn't stilish but worked well until the HD dyied, zen V plus isn't working as it is supposed to do, plain and simple. What do I have to do now in case you are wondering the malfunction is still the same.

    For the Zen V, as it states on the box, you need Windows XP Service Pack or 2, or Windows Vista. You also need Windows Media Player 0 or . As long as you have that, you should be fine there.
    You may also have a corrupted file that is causing the problem. Try not transferring them all at once, transfer it in blocks instead. If one block fails to transfer, try and narrow it down and see if it's a specific file in that block causing the problem.
    When you try it on another PC, do be sure that PC meets the system requirements, especially the Service Pack if it's Windows XP. You'd be shocked how many times people try it on a 2nd computer, get angry when it doesn't work, call tech support, and find out the 2nd PC doesn't even have SP on it.
    All else failing of course contact Support. They can't help you if you don't let them know what's going on, and if you don't yell at them they'll do their absolute best, trust me.
    Good luck,
    Dale

  • HT1414 Ipod Mini not working after trying to update to IOS7

    Team Apple....HELP!
    I recently tried to in tall the new IOS 7 on my Mini Ipad....but I get the connect to Itunes with USB cable on the screen. 
    I've intalled the latest updates to the OS on my MAC Laptop and the latest version of Itunes.
    Itunes saw a system that needed to be restore and took two hours to down load something (sorry, can't recall).  After the down load, I'm still stuck with the conect to Ituense with USB cable on the screen.
    Ok, I've tried all the below intsrutction from these links, with no success:

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How come my mini iPad is not working after trying to update apps?

    My mini iPad is repeatedly showing me a black screen with a, "white apple," in the middle & then a couple of minutes later it turns off for a few minutes. Then the black screen with the, "white apple," in the middle comes back on again and then it goes black again. Sometimes the black screen would lighten and the whole pattern of these "screens" would start over again. It's been doing this for hours since I fell asleep.
    This happened when I was trying to update 4-5 apps at the same time. It had trouble updating the, "Pinterest app." It failed once and I retried it and that's when my mini ipad started to not work. I can't use it at all. I never had trouble updating several apps at one time before. I was at home using my wifi and my wifi strength was at its maximum for the iPad.
    The battery was at 40 something%, so I charged it over night. It has the latest iOS update software. I had downloaded that yesterday.
    I plugged it into iTunes on my computer and the same thing is happening. It's picking up my icloud stuff like my music and videos and my computer is trying to import photos from my mini ipad automatically, but my iPad isn't fully recognizable on iTunes. I get 2 error messages. One says, "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." I also get an error when trying to import photos (just to try it out). The other error message says, "The iPad cannot be sync because this iPad cannot be found."
    And so, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and I get the same response. My iTunes is the latest version.
    I don't have warranty on this iPad and I spent like $500 on this one. I'm kinda worried...?
    Any kind of response would be appreciated....

    my Ipod touch is not working my sister tried to find out my password now its lock and disable i tried to follow the instruction to connect to Itune however that didn't help at all is there anyway to call and get help to restore my Ipod

    What happens when you connect to the computer and try to restore via iTunes?
    Have you tried placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring? For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    You can call Apple but if you are not within 90 days of purchasing the iPod they will charge you.

  • WLan connected, iPad and iPhone internet ok, iMac not working after trying everything (manual ip etc...)

    I am quite new with a mac computer. But i think i nearly tried everything, i have no idea what else could help...
    My iPhone and iPad are working perfektly in the wlan. My iMac works very rarely. Yes it worked once by manual ip, but later it did not work again.
    Wlan always works (sometmes it takes a few seconds until thesymbol is fat, mostly it starts with "no internet")
    I tried so many things...
    - manual ip found out by my windows pc
    - $ in front of the password
    - the apple faqs on the websites
    Very strange, but i hope someone solved an comparable problem already ;)
    Thx!

    I had a surfstick before, does that influence the whole thing?
    And another thing: in other wlans the iMac worked perfectly... Without any manual settings etc.
    Anyone an idea?
