Additional Notes:

As stated above it is very important that there is no residual adhesive on the cartridge contact point. This will make reading the cartridge difficult.

If for some reason this does not work for you then you will need to repeat this process. If you have to reattempt the reset please turn computer off before doing so. Leave computer off during the reset process
