Cartridge chip replacement parts

With my T Jet2, I have to reset the ink carts several times a day during operation and with all this pulling and replacing of the carts I had a chip fail. Replaced the cart thanks to EQ Zone, but I want to know where I can just buy just the chips.

If Harry does not have just the chips, then check out American Screen Supply in AZ. American Screen Supply - Best Prices on Inkjet Film and DTG Products!
We do carry just the chips.

Are they on your website, also I need to buy another standard shirt board.
You would have to call in for them. We do offer the chip sets but we recommend buying the complete cartridges as a safer option. If you do not mount the replacement chip correctly on the cartridge you have a chance of damaging the gold prongs in the carriage assembly.

I was just removing my black ink cartridge when the chip got caught on one the gold prongs in the carriage. It pulled the chip off of the cartridge and the prong out of the carriage. I can't find cartridges for sale on the EQ site. And can I put the prong back in the carriage? I don't know if I can afford a new carriage right now too.
You can't put individual gold prongs back on the sensor connector. You can pull out the broken connector with a long nose plier and replace it with a new one. We do have the connectors and replacement ink cartridges available.

Thank you so much

Everytime I try to put the new connector in the prongs get caught on the chip in the back and bends them. I'm pretty sure I'm close to bending them beyone repair. Is there an easy way to get this connector in?
After breaking the first connector I called support while replacing the 2nd connector. I slid a small piece of paper between where the connector goes and the board behind it. Slid it right in...pulled the paper out. Presto. It's in.

After replacing the black ink cartridge and the connector I have a solid error light. I pulled ink through the cartridge.

Is there a way to reset the machine now that the parts are replaced?

The error/eject light or ink light?
The ink light
Huh...you know how to reset the ink when it does this while printing? if you do and have done that it might be that the prongs are not making good contact on the chip or in the wrong place from being bent.

try to look at the cart next to it (remove both) and see if the prongs look like they are close to the same position.

How do I reset the ink?

The connection look lined up exactly the same.

With the printer on...after it's startup cycle (you'll get a solid light on the load and eject buttons) push the ink button once (don't hold it in) the carriage should move to the left a few inches and stop, unsnap the black cartridge and just raise it up out of the carriage for a few seconds, then reseat it into the carriage, push the ink button again and the printer should go into an ink purge/head clean cycle (all the inks lights will flash in a moving pattern) when it finishes the cycle the carriage should move back to the home position over the capping station and the light should be off.

Hope this helps.
With the T Jet 1 to reset the ink cartridge you only turn
the printer off for a minute and restart. I only take
my cartridges out when I replace the head.
