The cartridge won't move.

it could be a part is damaged or broken or a timing problem,,it
would be a good idea to have the machine checked.

it will be stuck in roller cleaner mode, that is mechanical. the only real way is to push it thether over to the left. with the power off the printer, then close the compartments and turn on the printer it can take 2 o3 goes as it will try to move it right. you have to get it off the clip that is holding it there. the cartridge is held in place to stop it moving while the roller is cleared.

Well you are going to have to take the gameboy color apart then to get it out. A triwing screw driver eBay sells them then.

okay be gentle, but try to move the cartridge box manually from side to side. it's possible that the gears have gotten stripped which is why they won't move even though they are trying to. so i'd try and move them from side to side and see if you can physically move it yourself. like i said be gentle in the chance the gear isn't stripped. good luck!

Symptom look like carriage jammed in service station,open cover gently try to pull carriage out if its jammed, open top & side covers, release service station capping through manually rotate gears, once its released, push carriage left side, remove service station & verify why its jammed, if found any breakage replace it, or clean it..but little bit technical skill required..see the similar diagram below:

Sometimes the ink cartridge carrier won't automatically move to its loading position even when the printer is on and the cover is open. Follow the steps below:

1. Unplug the printer from the power source.

2. With the cover open, hold the solid white strip that connects from the carrier assembly to the ink cartridge carrier and gently slide the cartridge carrier to the center of the printer.

3. Remove the used cartridges.

4. Load the new cartridges. Close the cover.

5. Plug the printer back to the power source.

Check if there is a stuck cartridge, and if there is a stucked cartridge you should try to push it back down.
