Black ink 2/3s full... printhead replaced... black still doesn't work

I've been struggling with this problem for months... I replaced the ink cartridges, replaced the printhead.  black was working somewhat, but when I replaced the color cartridges, black went away again.
HELP!

Hi @mtbmike1,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you cannot print black with your HP Officejet 6500a plus e710n printer. I am happy to look into this issue for you!
I would recommend, to please take a look through this guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in.... If the guide does not help, see this post, Re: Black not printing, by @Ciara_B.
Otherwise, if neither options resolve your issue, then the printer needs to be serviced. To do so, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Hope this helps!

  • Proximity Sensor Issue - Replacement Phone Still doesn't work - Now What?!

    My face continues to press keypad buttons, mute, and End. I got a replacement yesterday and am still having the problem. This is disrupting my business calls and I'm getting very annoyed by the problem.
    How has Apple not considered this a known issue? There was a post about this problem that had over 180,000 views and it has somehow disappeared.
    I'm not really sure what else to do except return the phone and wait till they completely address all issues.
    *****

    Ok-- Im hoping I can help you in some way...
    I got my first iphone and knew of the proximity sensor problem because my sister was having the same issue-- i had issues right away and called the next morning (I called apple support)-- they set me up to get a new phone.... I got my new phone and synched it right away-- OF COURSE IT HAD THE SAME ISSUE.... I called apple support AGAIN and this time I got someone with common sense-- he got me to a senior advisor right away.... and this person suggested I try restoring the phone to "new" and isntead of backing it up from 3GS back up-- to do it as a "new" phone-- this made EVERY app i EVER downloaded in 2 years go back on the phone and took about 3 hours to get back to how I like it... and of course-- its still having the issue-- I am now on the phone with Apple Care AGAIN--- they are in the process of getting me in contact with an apple senior advisor---
    I know that I can return it-- but id hate to return it and find out that fridays press confrence is going to address ALLLL of this and that there is a fix....
    soooo as soon as I am off of here this time I will let you know what they say....

  • My Ipod touch 2nd gen. was working fine but when I tried to charge from my PC the Ipod start getting too hot and the screen turn black and doesn't  work anymore.Maybe is burn?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation was working fine until I tried to charge again from my PC,when I connected the Ipod was getting too hot and smelling like burn cable,the screen turn black and doesn't work anymore. any ideas about what happen?

    You can try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    However, from your discription, I suspect that something is broken.  Maybe a dead battery.  In that case. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say.

  • ITunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64bit doesn't work correctly.

    iTunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64 doesn't work correctly. I have the Windows taskbar on the left side of my screen. Maximized iTunes is panned to the left.

    Same issue here. When the Windows taskbar is position on the top of the screen and then the iTunes windows is maximised, it's position is as if the Windows taskbar is at the bottom of the screen so the top of the iTunes window sits under the taskbar.
    For those wanting a workaround, hold shift and right click the iTunes icon in the taskbar/quick launch bar and click restore, at least then you can adjust it to be full screen manually.

  • Full version of a game doesn't work.

    Hello,
    I purchased the game Royal Envoy 2 (premium) today in the app store on my macbook. But the game doesn't work. If i want to go to level 9 the game tells me that i haven't purchased it yet. When i click on 'buy' the game sends me to the app store. The app store says that the game is already installed. I removed the game from my computer and reinstalled it but it still doesn't work. I think it's a really fun game to play and I wish that I can play the full version of the game because i payed for it..

    You should contact the developer's support channel. If the game says that you have not bought Level 9, then that was not part of your purchase. You likely need to make an in-app purchase to open more of the game. The developer should be able to tell you how if it isn't obvious to you.

  • Replaces ear-speaker and it still doesn't work

    I just replaced the call speaker that is next to the front facing camera and it still doesn't work. I hard reset and erased the phone and it still doesn't work....someone help me?

    The earspeaker contacts make direct contact with the Logic Board. So either the new speaker is faulty or the Logic Board is faulty. Since the earspeaker floats in space, check your work and make sure it is perfectly in place.

  • Smart quotes replacement STILL doesn't work

    Smart Quotes replacement in Pages STILL isn't fixed (after today's update).
    I sent Apple Feedback twice (about two months ago), I called them, I filed tickets…what does it take to fix a menu that DOESN'T WORK?
    Seriously, try this…
    Create a document with some straight quotes.
    Then: Edit, Substitutions, Show Substitutions, make sure Smart Quotes is checked, Replace All.
    IT DOESN'T WORK!
    (Please someone tell me I'm missing something here. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.)
    Running Pages 5.1 (1769), OS X 10.9.1

    No, you're doing it right. Try the exact same procedure in TextEdit, which also relies on OS X's text substitutions mechanism for this, and you'll find it works exactly as you expect. This is a lingering bug in Pages 5.

  • New black cartridge doesn't work. I get no error messages, it simply does not print in black.

    As stated above, the printer simply doesn't print in black.  It's a new cartridge.  Not my first rodeo, I've replaced that cartridge several times, so I know how to do it.  I get no error messages.  When checking the ink level, it registers as full.    What's up with that?
    This question was solved.

    Hi, for the OJ 6500 try the steps in the link below...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01641815
    Failing that, if the printer is out of warranty one thing that might be worth a shot is soaking the printhead...
    1) Get a pan and put 1/2" of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
    2) Next remove all the ink cartridges, then remove the printhead assembly.
    3) Gently put the printhead nozzles down in the water and let it soak for five minutes.
    4) Remove the printhead and gently dry the electrical contacts.
    5) Put the printhead back in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

  • My iPad screen is black but the iPad itself still works. I reset the iPad but it still doesn't work. What can i do?

    When i went onto my iPad this morning it was completely fine and working but once i took it to college with me the battery had ran out, so later on tonight i plugged my charger in and left it charging for about half an hour, when i went to go back up onto it was just a black screen and every so often when i pressed the power button it would flash blue for a split second then be blacked out again...
    So i had a look on this community to see if there was any solutions that could help and i found a case similar to mine so i tried to reset in hopes that it worked but it never did. I know that the iPad itself is working as i managed to unlock my iPad when putting in my passcode and i was able to get notification through as well, but after the reset i saw the apple logo appeared and it flashed a few times and i could see the setup on the screen to set it up as a new iPad.
    I don't know how or why the screen will not work properly, so any help would be great

    Hello there, Courtney_May.
    The following Knowledge Base article addresses intermittent display issues on iPhone, but is applicable to your iPad as well:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My phone just went black and won't turn on, I have tried pluging it in to the computer and charging it! still doesn't work.

    My iPhone 4 wont turn on! Does anyone know how to turn it back on? I have tried plugging it in to the computer and tried to charge it, nothing works!

    Did you try any of the reset steps, etc. outlined in some of these forums or pretty much do nothing until it started working again? Also, do you have an iPhone 4 as Sam The AMAZING does?
    (I'm desperately grasping straws to figure out whether or not I've exasperated all options and my iPhone is lost forever...)

  • I upgraded to version 18, and it no longer works. I uninstalled, ran CCleaner registry cleaner, reinstalled full version and it still does not work., Windows 7

    I have been running Firefox 17.x with no issues. Updated to Firefox 18 today, and it will not render a single web page. IE and Chrome work fine. Running on 64Bit Win7 Ultimate. 6 Core/16GB Ram. Latest updates for windows, as of this weeks release. I have done a complete uninstall, run both CCleaner and Norton 360 Registry cleaner to ensure previous traces removed. Reinstalled full version. Still cannot/will not render a web page. No noted activity within the browser window. No error codes to provide.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Mac: Full screen on dual monitors still doesn't work with Flash 10.2 upgrade

    Recently upgraded to Flash 10.2 specifically for the ability to work on a second monitor while watching fullscreen video on the first.  It's still not working at all.  The second I click on anything on the second screen, the video jumps back from full screen.  I checked to make sure that these sites work properly with dual monitors on a Windows machine.  Any tips to get this working?  Without this feature, certain websites are completely useless.
    Running: MAC 10,2,152,33 on OSX 10.6.6

    Hi, I think you are right about it being in this latest FP update. The "More like This" feature on the right hand side of the threads is not working. I think I have some info on Full Screen, but not the dual monitor issue. I'll check to be sure.
    I'll try to find some info on it. There were so many changes that came out with this last update.
    Will get back to you when I find the info.
