pls check everything on the left side of the printer. is everything connected? there are some grey clips that hold the ink assembly in place- check those. If you only replaced the belt, that area should not have touched but check anyway. we know everything about those units. and have all parts. thx Plottermaster
So about those grey clips.... lol the part the the clip goes broke off on the top row ink tray so its currently waiting to dry to see if it will hold the pressure. Thanks!

Hi Sir

Did you manage to solve the issue? I am having a problem with not recognized LC cartridge (After I cleared a Recovery Bag error); I try reinserting new full cartridges with no effect. This is L25500

Did you insert that new full cartridge before you cleared the error? If you did it can be marked as bad..

So basically, I had used cartridge in. During broken bag problem removal - I put a new cartridge. Cleared error. Then it initialises, but does not recognize LC cartridge. Put in a second new - Still not recognised. Recognizes neither of the two new cartridges, nor the used one, nor an empty one I had stocked.

Did you actually have a broken bag? Did you need to clean ink from the contactors?
Make 5000% sure they are absolutely clean and there is zero I mean zero ink in the electric connections. If there is any it can short the connections and it will not recognise the cartridge.
Remove the wires and just drown them in isopropyl alcohol. You can also try to swap the wires with another cartridge.

No, Sir, I see no visible leakage. I just replaced the two ink cartridges I had taken out during printhead replacement - with new ones. But LC is not one of them. So this cleared the error, and I see no ink and have cleared none. only now it does not recognize the cartridge.
