To change the cartridge I pinch / pull down the current one. Pulling harder I'm concerned the connection wires will disconnect. Help?

The CN5625AL cartridge in this picture is the style that mounts with two screws. Assuming the cartridge that you are replacing mounts the same way. The back of the your old cartridge has 4 male pins coming out of the back of the cartridge. Connected to the 4 pins are 4 tone arm wires that have round female pins soldered at the end of each wire. You will need a pair of needle nose pliers or tweezers. Using the tip of the needle nose pliers, carefully unplug each tone arm wire pin, one at a time. Be sure to pull it from the pin, not from the wire. After all 4 tone arm wire pins are unplugged from the back of your old cartridge, loosen and remove the 2 screws and nuts that were holding your old cartridge on to your headshell. Take the new cartridge and instructions from the CN5625AL package. The instructions will tell you how to remount and rewire the new cartridge. Please note, there are some turntables that use a similar Audio Technica cartridge, that are glued directly into the tone arm, and are not removable. If this is what you have, you can only replace the stylus, not the whole cartridge. Regards, Premium Parts+

pulling the strip should 'activate' the cartridge - you may have simply ended up with a bad cartridge. good luck. incidentally, ours lasted 2 weeks instead of the OE 13 weeks which is commesurate with the 1/6 difference in prices. good luck!

NEVER pull all of the cartridges out to replace the cartridges. Do them one at a time. Make sure all of the packing tape strips are off of the cartridge. Seat the cartridge properly before pressing down at the front of the cartridge. If the light doesn't come on there's something wrong. Most likely, you've ordered the wrong cartridges.

I hooked mine up and had the same problem. There's an adjustment on the cartridge that should fix the problem. It should be on the instructions. I thought mine was broken and after the adjustment it's been fine ever since.

The strip on my cartridge pulled straight out and I had no issue. I am not sure what else to add. It took a bit of tugging but I would be careful not to pull too hard and have it break inside the cartridge leaving you with nothing to grab. The manufacturer should replace it if you can't get it out.

I see so many different resetters.. do you have a link to one that will reset OEM and the chips from these 3rd party cartridges? Ive ordered several more of the cartridges sets I also have the jigs that you can drill a hole in the sponge end and refill with a second part of the jig that has the refill needle in it... I would think that filling from the top of the cartridge would be easier.. I think there is a small "bb" that you can push thru and then put a plug in after you refill, but havent looked under the "push here" label to confirm that

Sounds like maybe the ground wire that attaches to the receiver/amp has possibly come loose. Maybe in installing the cartridge, it worked its way loose.

you might have to turn the chip. put the right side to the left. most of the refill cartridges i ordered did not work

Before panicking, I would unplug the printer for 30 seconds after shutting it down, and do a reboot with the new cartridge in. If that doesn't work you can try it with the old cartridge in and then change cartridges after the reboot. I'm figuring you probably have this resolved by now, so can you tell us what ended up happening? Thanks.

To replace any ink tube, just pull. Hard. When inserting the refill, push. Hard! Don't worry.

I had that happen. I had to take the ones out I had in. put different ones in. Then later when I put the original ones that didn't work- they worked. It had something to do with how the cartridges snapped in.

Hmm, I don't recall pulling out a strip. Have you tried putting the cartridge into the printers cartridge adapter (holder) and trying it? If it still doesn't work, then the cartridge maybe damaged or defective. I'd be curious to know which... Good Luck, Dori

Did you clean the wire? There should have been instructions with your toner and there's a wire that goes across the drum. The wire has a little clip on one end and you need to run the clip back and forth across the wire a few times to clean it. Also, did you gently shake the new cartridge from side to side before installing it? If you did all this and it's still leaving streaks, it might be time for a drum replacement.

Hi John, the cartridge are supposed to be "plug and use", if they are not being recognized by the printer, contact the seller, they should be fine to replace them for you. It happend once to me on one black cartridge, the seller asked me to trash it and he send me a replacement one that worked fine.

what you might try to do is to peel the bar code from the old cartridge, then stick it to the new cartridge you are replacing. What it's doing is fooling the printer into thinking your using a lexmark cartridge.

pull out plastic cover... take hold of cartridge and pull straight out. new one snaps into place easily. replace cover

Disconnect brush head with its pole from handle where switch is located. Remove 2 screws near the power switch (on the handle) and gently pull the blue (in my case) end portion with 2 contacts at the end out. You will see the whole battery cartridge coming out.
