I need help identifying a chip and how to reset it from a new brotherBrother's toner cartridge TN227 and TN223. This comes from the new Brother HL-L3230CDW laser printer.
Here'sHere are some pictures of the starter TN223 chip that my printer came with:
I then opened the printer to determine which pins go to what. I first used a multi-meter to determine that pads 2,3,4 are shorted to each other on each chip for each color C,Y Y,M M,BK BK. I then found pad 2 was shorted to the printer frame, so I assumed that was ground. Then I looked at the wiring color. It's matched as the following:
- 1: purple, 2: white, 3: black, 4: red
I ran the test twice and attached the sigrokSigrok file results here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LRBKmhKruzNNKLFl359ab0C8VVCKJCxc/view?usp=sharinghere and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aRRibu_b7KzSSxnMR3Ef6y35k-U_M7-N/view?usp=sharinghere.
I still don't know if the pad 2 is GND since pad 3 is black which usually indicated ground, however as previously stated pad 2 is shorted to the frame of the printer. I then attempted to connect pad 3 as GND to my logic analyzer and connect pad 2 as not ground, however something strange occurred, and the printer no longer accepted the cartridge I was messing around with. Going back to pad 2 as ground, and it started working again. I'm now assuming pad 2 is ground.
When investigating the data further, there seems to be a little difference between two runs. I simply turned the printer on and recorded data then immediately turned it off then back on to get my second run, however the data seemed to change slightly. To ensure it wasn't due to sampling error, I increased the sampling to 20MHz20 MHz, which includes about 20 samples per clock cycle which should be sufficient to measure the wave forms consistently. When measuring the clock rate, I found it to be between 432-457Khz.
One idea I currently have is to analyze the data and find the ASCII text "brother" since each chip is required to have a manufacturing name and because the cartridges I have are from brother.
