One or more cartidges appears to be damaged How can I tell which one?

I just had my 4 cartidges refilled at Cosco.  Came home and installed them and get the One or more cartidges appears to be damaged message.  Looked at the little example on the printer screen and it looked like it was telling me the Yellow was the one.  Just bought a new yellow and still get the message.  Does the printer tell you which cartridge is bad or is it just replace them all?

bnba,
Welcome to the HP Forum.

This is a difficult question to ask of our Experts in that most of us would never suggest that you use refilled cartridges in your HP printer in the first place.
Long term, you might damage the printer using refilled ink cartridges.  This is true for any brand printer in my opinion.
If the printer was inexpensive to begin with - well, little lost except the shame for the trash created when the printer must be replaced soonner rather than later.
If you paid good money for that printer - then you might consider the investment you have made thus far and decide whether refilled cartridges are worth the risk.
Short term -- you can run a diagnostic test on the printer and see if it can tell you what it thinks about the situation.
Most printers provide diagnositcs and testing under Settings or Tools on the Front Panel.

  • I have lots of duplicate songs in ITunes. How can I tell which ones were purchased vs ripped?

    I am trying to delete duplicate songs in iTunes library. How can I tell which ones were iTunes purchases and which ones I ripped from CD's.

    If you turn on the Kind column your purchases will read Purchased AAC audio file or Protected AAC audio file.
    BTW I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

    Here are the specs and configurable options for your HP Pavilion p7-1380t Desktop Computer. Here are the specs for it's H-Joshua-H61-uATX (Joshua) motherboard. According to the motherboard specs, this system has 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back as shown below;
    (#1) USB 2.0 x 4
    Typically, USB 3.0 port are blue and have a stylized "SS" symbol near by. There does appear to be a USB 3.0 header on the motherboard, which could be used for front or rear ports.

  • When a contact has multiple numbers, how can I tell which one called me?

    For example, if a single contact entry has a "home" number and a "mobile" number, there seems to be no intuitive way to tell which one called me from the iOS 7 phone app--only the contact name is listed on the Recents screen, and the info button for the call shows all the numbers for that contact.
    I've done extensive searching, and though I found some people asking the same question, I couldn't find any answers! I could wait and examine my phone bill statement, but I don't think it shows the incoming number... I figure there must be a way, because clearly my phone knows the specific number!

    When I look at calls in my Recents list, there are two lines. The top line is the contact name, the second line is the listing from my contacts that indicates the label for the number the call came from. If that is not enough, then you can tap on the at the end of the listing which brings you to the individual contact. The number you received the call from will be in a different color than the other numbers. In mine it is in blue. This is just like the information provided in the earlier part of this thread.

  • "One or more cartridges appear to be damaged"

    I purchased my office jet 8620 last Oct 29 from the Office Depot in Niles, IL (#3242). It worked very well until the original ink cartridges (set up) needed to be replaced. I removed the old ones, installed the new ones using HP cartridges and after a couple minutes the screen on the machine displayed this message:
    ""One or more cartridges appear to be damaged. Remove them and replace with new cartridges." 
    I assumed that the brand new cartridges were defective so I returned them and bought new ones but I am getting the same message, and the printer won't print anything. 
    I went through this checklist (http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Officejet-Pro-8600-e-All-in-One-Printer-series---N9/4322914/m... and spoke with HP customer service by phone. The tech never offered to replace the pinhead assembly - instead, she suggested that I contact the Office Depot store in Niles and return the entire thing.  
    Now the store manager tells me he won't replace the unit because it is past the 6 month purchase date, but did offer to "take a look" at the cartridge carriage and heads to make sure they're okay. 
    Can an HP rep inform me what my next step should be? Recontact Tech support? 
    Thanks,
    Mike M. 

    What cartidges are you replacing? 932/933 or 950/951. I have an 8600, approximately 2 years old where the printer ran fine on 932/933 but now insists on 950/951.

  • How can Apple tell that the liquid damage in my mac air was made by me?

    Apple said my five months Mac Air has liquid damage inside and I need to pay more than $400.
    I totally cannot accept it.
    Please have a look below two pictures from Apple.
    I can see corrosion, but how can Apple tell this damage was made by me?
    Actually I can easily approve this was definitely not made by me because of this part's location.
    Please have a look below picture. I circle it by black on the left above corner.
    This Part is facing to the ground and is covered by the case like below picture.
    All of above picture can easily approve I　cannot put water inside to damage this part without damaging other parts.
    1. if water from keyboard, water will definitely pass by other places and damage other parts.
    2. if water from buttom, there is protected by the case. How can I put water inside?
    I believe that my case was just Hastily delt by one junior staff and later the manager just tried to cover his staff's mistake.
    I know the apple's product is very good. But if apple treats customer like me, I believe sooner or later Steve Jobs would cry in heaven.
    One of my friend told me normally there are several paper inside laptop and they will change the color if touching  the water.
    So people can tell the laptop was poured in water if several paper change the color togother.
    I think this way is fair enough. But in Apple store when I asked the manager whether Mac Air has this kind of paper inside.
    His answer is "not sure". I really do not know How can this man be manager!!
    can somebody tell me whether mac air have this kind of paper inside the body?
    Thanks,

    this:
    Did not exist at the point of delivery to the consumer.
    Nor did the white corrosive agent present exist at the point of sale.
    " exposure   of copper   alloys   to   moisture   or   salt   spray   will   cause   the formation  of  blue  or  green  salts  called  verdigris.  The presence   of   verdigris   indicates   active   corrosion."
    I see also 2 contact points with DEEP corrosion pitting not indicative of any defect from the factory.

  • How can I tell if my water damaged 4S is unlocked?

    I'm trying to sell my iphone 4S that has water damage.  how can I tell if it is unlocked and no longer assoc with itunes account? people keep asking for IMEI and SN and tell me I can check this myself but when I call to find out they say I have to pay $19 to ensure repair or something and I don't want repair just to see how I can tell unlocked.  when he damaged it I didn't repair it just used an available upgrade to purchase new one  thanks for the help

    You can try calling Apple tech support and giving them the serial number. Sometimes they can tell you whether the iPhone is listed as factory-unlocked. Otherwise, other than by putting in a different SIM, there is no way you can tell.
    Regards.

    another option is to download and install the portable firefox version from the next link, if you want to use it occasionally : http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./
    portable version is more flexible, and you can delete it any time without worries

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!

  • How can I tell if my iPod touch is water damaged?

    How can I tell if my iPod touch 5th generation is water damaged? It will not turn on or charge but I can't tell what is wrong with it.

    Without cracking it open you really can't. This is a long shot, you could try drying it out. Do not attempt to charge or turn on, leave it off. Place it in a sealed bag of uncooked rice for about a week. change the rice every couple of days. After you dry it attempt to turn it on, you my need to charge it first, about 30 minutes. If it works great, if not you may need to reset or attempt to restore. And it may never work again, but for a couple of dollars of rice its worth trying. If you do get it to work the first thing you want to do is make a full backup to your computer. The thing with water damage is you just don't know how long it will continue to work.  If you go to Apple be prepared to spend some money, water damage is not covered with the standard warranty. Good luck, hope this helps. Cheers.
