Help! I'm trying to find a gas cap for a P41 - either original or a like remanufactered replacement?

If is strip grab a pair of pliers and break it put you a new one. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NEW ONE BEFORE YOU BREAK THE OLD ONE

1. Unlock the gas cap. Slip the key into the slot on the center of the cap with the teeth toward the outer circle. 2. Turn the key clockwise. The lock cylinder gives and allows the key to move. 3. Turn the gas cap counterclockwise. Unscrew the cap...------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Try formatting the stick and try again, sounds like it is corrupted.

It's entirely possible the problem is one of the following:


Recently replaced cartridges have
1. incompatible chips for your printer (ie: they're the wrong type)
2. chips that don't talk or work with the type on your older/original cartridges.

The issue with 2. usually comes about when consumables are from different suppliers or the supplier has switched to a new version that doesn't work in the same way as the earlier brand.

Fix in either instance is to either:
- replace the older cartridges with new types across the board
- try reinserting the old cartridge(s) to make sure the problem isn't more serious (ie: logic board or contact wire failure).


Note: contact wires are the little delicate wires that make contact with the chips. They are easily broken off if there's rogue plastic flashing or similar on cartridges or small children try to "fix" things.

Hope that's of some help.

try pressing it in and opening it it wont strif but it can break even if you break it use a big channel lock to open it and replace it with a new one.

If it hasn't been scanned fo codes, the most common problem relates to gas caps. Evaporative emissions systems. When a cap gets old it will not function correctly. Consequently the check engine light will come on. Do not buy an after market cap. My experience with aftermarket caps have been very poor. The majority of times I tried after market caps on customer cars, I got return problems. Factoy caps seem to resolve that issue. Once you replace the cap, the light should go out in a few cycles. It's a cheap investment if it's the original cap anyway, it'll save you the cost of scanning and the gamble is almost 70% right.

Unplug the power cord from the power supply for a good 15 seconds or so then press and hold the power button for another few seconds (5 or so). Plug back in the power and see if it boots up.
Good luck!

This model came out in 2004 and has now been superceeded. Originally came with a 16mb sony memory stick which is the minimum you need to operate features including video clips etc.,
