Has anyone had one of these die & tried to recycle it? There's a "no trash" pictogram on the bottom, but I have no idea where to take it otherwise.

New batteries did not help? Mine have been working fine. You can take it to any recycle bin in your area or put it in your own recycling bins for pick up. If you haven't had it long and new batteries don't work, I would contact the company who makes them.

Mine just died and I've been trying to fix it. I was just going to throw it in the trash if I can't get it to work. I live in Pittsburgh and as far as I know it's not recyclable here.

I had one die. I put it out with the ewaste and batteries and they took it.

My understanding is that the symbol you're referring to does not apply in the United States but is required in another country or more than one other country. Waste rules differ from state to state and municipality to municipality. Check the regulations where you live for more information.

You would have to check in your area to find where to recycle it. There should be somewhere you can bring it.

The one I purchased was refurbished because I prefer to recycle things. And, given this condition, I doubt it. It came without instructions and I was not able to obtain online support. I cannot speak for a new product. Nor can I comment without knowing your technological abilities to make it work. Good luck.

Candidly, I don't know. Some folks have had them last a long time; other folks have had them die within a few months. I think it is obvious that the quality control and or the quality of parts used is questionable. I have had several months of an awful picture, and the first episode of an awful picture happened when it was about 2 years old. The bad picture lasted 2-3 months.

It's so funny. I like this q&a thing. Idk I have has this happen before. Does there seem like there is less material in the tube as well and are the rubber washer things different. My guess is that it just is extremely old and things change in the tube. The company will send you a new one though if you call them and send it to them.

There is no recycle number on the bottom and was made in China....my guess is no. But it does work well.

I had the same problem. It shredded the paper around the can into whatever I was opening, that is when it actually opened a can. Amazon was good enough to replace it and I ended up ordering a Hamilton Beach which works exactly as it is suppose to. They should really take the Proctor Silex 75217F off the market. It doesn't work!!

If it is current dated, I would return it as defective - - in years of using H/P print carts I've actually had one bad one BUT I bought it from H/P and got a new one in exchange. Good luck. (Oh the bad one was a 56)

Mine suffers the same fate. I take out the batteries and replace after 8 hours and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Ive owned it for 3-4 years but I really don't want to replace a trashcan just because the electronics work sporadically....

If you contact Brother, they can help. Their CSR Rep was able to help me Purge the print head and now I'm back in business. I got a back-up printer just in case.

Hi, No, there isn't a recycling sign anywhere on it. The surface is smooth. I'm not that familiar with all the products they can make with bamboo so I can't verify for you by just looking at it. You can see flecks/small pieces of bamboo though. I'll try to post a close-up shot if that would help.

you would have to push on the pic. you want to delete a trash bin will show up in a corner (on some) slide it over top

Not sure where to find it - there is the recycling code on the bottom, which is a number 2. If that isn't correct, just let me know where to look....

Yes, toss it and move on with life. Mine was terrific at first too, and then converted itself into a piece of junk that defied every effort to restore it. This printer turned out to be a waste. I even bought a replacement print head for mine, and a ton of ink cartridges. Big mistake.

how did you try to format it? In camera or using your computer? If it is defective Komputerbay will easily replace it. Their customer response time is, in my opinion, excellent.

I need to swap the print circuit board, since PC cannot detect this drive any more. I have tons of data on this drive that needs retrieval. So I placed another order again. Hope I will get exact model as I bought in Nov, 2010. The model I received last time is also WD20EARS-00MVWB0. Can someone report what's their model number now, if they bought it recently? Thank you. I will report mine once I get it on Monday.
