You probably already did this but clenaing the gold connections that make contact with the chip on the cartridge has helped me before. Or one of them may be damaged. Also I once had a bad chip on a brand new cart. really threw me for a loop. I spend a couple of hours trying to figure out what else could be wrong before I reinstalled an old cart. just to see what happened and the light went off. So then I just switched the chips from the old cart. to the new one. Hope you get it figured out soon.

How do you change the chip on a cartridge

This is how I do it.... take that for what it's worth. On the front of the chip there are two small spots of clear/white plastic that push through holes in the chip then are flattened out so that holds the chip on the cartridge. With my x-acto knife I cut the top one off flush with the face of the chip then at the top of the chip use the knife blade to gently pry the top away from the cartridge. then slide the chip upward. Leave the bottom bit of plastic alone and that will help hold the other chip in place. Usually I can get the top bit of plastic to go back trough the hole in the chip and it stays in place just fine. If the chip trys to fall off, a dab of silicone to the top edge of the chip will hold it in place but you have to get the chip flush with the cartridge just like it originally was or you will possibly damage the contacts in the carriage. I'm sure that wasn't very clear and over worded but that's what I do.
