I just installed the new printhead for b210e and found out that i was not having problem with the old printhead. Because before i have a new black ink cartridge and it lasted almost 2 days before the "missing ink or damage cartridge" occur, so i suspect the problem was the printhead. i tried hardware reset and even full reset (hidden menu) it didn't work.
what could be the problem? is it all the ink cartridges? i have 2 sets of those 564 ink, it's kinda unusual for all of it to be damage at the same day.
Thank u in adavance :D

below are some print screens:




Ok i updated this post, 'cause i found out that the blank ink cartridge is recognized, i just removed all the color inks and left the black, i open the door again and put on the color inks but it says "appear to be missing or damage".
opening the hp software and i get this so it must be the color inks? Hmm the 2 sets of ink died at the same day huh?

Are the electrical contacts dirty? New cartridge, new printhead, yet you still get errors?

Make sure the cartridge is pushed down until it clicks into place. It doesn't require much force, but it is sometimes possible to get it a little bit wrong. Try reseating it if necessary.

Otherwise, if you have a new HP cartridge (not refilled), it may be a problem with the printer itself.

I have done that many times, reseating, cleaning the contacts and dipping the printhead in hot water, i'm so out of idea as how to fix it, and i think i'm gonna go buy another color ink cartridge, not 1 set but 1 color only, if it's recognized then i'll buy the rest, if not then i just wasted 500p for it, this is what i feel right now

I just bought a new 564 ink cartridge for HP photosmart b210e printer, it turned out that it doesn't recognized the yellow, but the black is still good, all the color is not recognized except for the black, then to my desperation i dis-assembled the part where the battery is located and remove it as to hoping it would somehow disable reading the level of ink, i restarted the printer and viola!... nothing happen. what could be the problem with this printer? i'm getting out of patience and want to smash it with baseball bat, the only useful thing for it was the scanner. Could it be a carriage problem??
Hope to hear from the experts. thank you.
