 Hey guys, this is Kevin. Today will be Ask Kevin project, which I select a couple of questions from from customers or friends. Then I try to reply to it. It's kind of diagnosis somebody's illness through the internet. I mean there's no way that there's no way I mean my answer will be the best answer that you may have. So I just gave you some thought, okay? So it doesn't work, doesn't work. Okay, today's question from Poland. Okay, let me try the Google pronunciation when I read that translation. I think Google's English robot is more Salady. Lesson to this. I have a problem with the Epson L1455 such that after starting up connecting to the power supply the printer starts up by itself and the date and time reset message appears. The printer is not completely responsive. Epson firmware updater cannot see the USB and LAN device. I have run out of ideas for a solution and I am looking for help smile or regard. Okay, the first thing I say is your printer start up so there's nothing wrong with the power supply. Okay, so I read at the time and date. So we actually try to go to normal mode and then the reset message appears. That's weird because most firmware, if it's in the firmware update mode, it won't go to the date and time. So there's something scrub on the firmware that when you go to normal mode. My problem is I never seen the reset message before. I don't know what the reset message it is. What kind of reset message it is. The printer is not not completely responsive. So I mean if I see a video I may have more ideas. Then the Epson firmware updater cannot see the USB and the LAN and this means the printer itself is not identified itself on the USB. Okay, my suggestion one is I don't know what your IOCD screen look like. So it seems you cannot do anything from the computer side. So try to do something on the IOCD part. See if you can have other choices not reset or something. And yeah, this is weird. And the second thing I can think of is if I do it and if I don't have any other solution and other things to try, I might force to copy firmware onto the printer. So first thing I will try is to do it from software. Some printers that you have you can force it by turning the printer into a firmware update mode by pressing couple keys. So you can after you put in the firmware update mode, the printer can accept your computer's request for update, which sometimes otherwise the printer will not accept it. And I don't know anything about L1450 because it's not a US model. So you're probably the best bet is search on the internet. And I did a quick search. I didn't find it. I didn't find any quick solutions. And when you search, be careful about those spam website. For example, download.appson slash base.com. So that definitely is a spam website because it's trying to tie itself to apps. So if I click, you can see a try to disguise itself as a genuine apps and website. And this is a good website like a ink chip, ink chip, ink chip dot net. That's a good website. And ink chip dot net. Although this is not for equal tanks, you still got lots of instructions. For example, ink chip dot net will show you the other models how to turn into the firmware update mode. So I would suggest just go to go there and take a look. For example, this one, you'll press down and two, three, four. I mean, you'll you'll press this first. So then you hold O4 and then and then you'll turn the power on. So if even yours is equal tank, you'll try those combinations. If your control panel is similar to this, sometime apps and when they design the same kind of the LED screen, they don't want to rewire it. So it's exactly same sequence as the non equal tank. So if that doesn't work, so there's a software called WIC. Okay, I'll give you the website. So it's WIC dot support. And it has it has a WIC program that you can download, install on your computer. Then it gave you more error code. And also a looking for other firmware that they have either is back compatible or forward update. So you can try to install a copy of firmware this way. Okay. And if this doesn't work, okay, we can copy the firmware physically. And there are going to be a lot of links. It's a little tedious for you to copy them. You can text the word firmware one number one to this number. And I will text you back to the article for article and check the reference section of the article that have all the links that I'll mention. Absin usually stored a firmware in the soap eight. This is really easy to identify on the motherboard. They are like a square shape, black. And you can see this one is Benson brand and they have eight legs. That one has three chips. Most of them have two chips. For example, this one is for EcoTank. And you can see it's Mark as IC5. The chip will have this brand on top. For example, this one is a windbound chip. And you can see there's something wrong with it already. Yeah, on the bottom, they smelled it. To be able to do this, you need the file, a healthy file from a working motherboard or main board. You can get a physically working board to copy or you can download a bin file that somebody already made. We have a little selection. You can go to bchtechnology.com and go to printer parts. Then select Absin. And then select electronic board and assembly. And then you can see there's a bin dump. Yeah, we try to make more and have more available. But I doubt I'll have your version. So if you don't have it, maybe ask around. If somebody has a healthy printer that they can borrow. To copy it, you need something called a programmer. I have this one, XGEZU. And also have another program called Sophie. So they're equivalent. It's about 70 to 80 dollars. Those are mid-range programmers. I normally don't use like a $10 programmer. So this is the programmer. And what you do is you put an adapter clip on it. I think it's this one. So you put eight leg clip on this. Then you connect this end of the clip to here. And so and then you use this black clip. You'll put it on your main board, soap it the chip. So in this way, you don't need to solder the chip off. So you can just read it directly from main board. And then you borrow a healthy main board from your friend. And you install the software, say copy, and that's going to suck up the information and dump into your your computer. And then you move this clip to you to your malfunction main board and say right. And the computer going to speed up the information and override the firmware. So if you bought a BIN file, what you can do is on your computers, you say load, that's going to load the information from BIN file to your computer. And then you put this clip on your malfunction board, say right, that's going to write to the board. Talking about programmers and the firmware, the best programmer actually is made in Poland. It's called VivoTronics. And that's what I have here. This is the one I have. So I don't know. So for me, I spend most of my money on shipping. So if you can get a chip from Poland, I highly suggest suggest this one. They can read more chips. And you're going to have lots of fun with it. Okay, I hope this helps you. I don't know. And so far away. So that's all my suggestion right now. Good day. Cheers.
