Maxify MB5440 ink absorber

[palombian]

About to order a reset tool. Looking at ST v5204.
These all say "THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT WORK IF IT HAS TREATED WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS".
Is this going to be a problem since I am not entirely sure which ST version they used to reset the printer at the repair shop?

If the counter was reset by the repair shop their tool worked and the printer is not blocked.

Thank you.

Have ordered the service tool (v5204).

But... the replacement 2nd-hand MB2140 packed up this morning with an error (overheating print head or something). It did the same yesterday so I flushed out the print head and dabbed up junk on those pads/receptacles where the head parks for cleaning and that resolved the issue. Not so much this morning.

I couldn't anymore.
Ordered a new MB5440 to keep the ball rolling.
Hopefully good for another 5+ years like the current one.

I will ditch the MB2140 for parts. Then see if the tool repairs the old MB5440 and it can be in my office as a backup.

And, never again with generic ink. It's obvious the generic pigment inks I can get are causing a problem.
