Epson R320. Had a "end of life" message so I held done the Power/Maintainence/Stop buttons for 10 secs and nothing happend. Held them again and unplugged it, plugged it back in and pressed Power and now it says General Error and won't go away. I've downloaded SSCSU V4.3 and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm running windows Vista

you have to hold home and power button for 30 sec should work.

I have 2 of these devices. Try using a cellular phone charger with the same plug at the end and plug it in. I have waited 5-10 minutes after doing this and they have come back to life and turn on. Maybe it will work for you.

You won't believe what happened when held down the power for 10 secs...Nothing.But, I held down the power switch for 10 sec and two caps ( 35v/470uf mc2 and mc3 )on board ( LC420wx7 master ) on the left hand side smoked and the TV started working..So all I had to do was to replace them...My TV is back to life. If any one is looking for answers check these two capsthey could be bulging ..

this means that you may need a reset your ink waste counter. try to perform this

For the RX500 - Hold down "clear + setup + on"

continue to hold the buttons until the printer had powered on, then off again, then back on. Once I noticed that the LCD had flashed a blank screen, I let go of the 3 keys. In the LCD window I was given access to 3 options using the select keys.

The first had something to do with calibrating the scan light, the second option said "startup." The 3rd did the trick. An abbreviation resembling "ink pad level" was what I was looking for. Here is where I forget what I did... I think that I pressed "OK" on the keypad,. It did nothing. Then I think that I held down the clear button for around 10 seconds. When I let go of the clear button, the LCD read "Press Power to Reset." All better now!


post me a review should this work sir / ma'am coz it did for me

This message indicates that your waste ink pads are full and require replacing. Replacement is costly, messy and requires the printer to be taken completely apart. Most often the counter has "jumped" to the end of life number, this especially happens where 3rd party or refilled inks have been used. If you believe this to be the case and there is no sign of ink leakage and the pads look fairly clean then you can just reset the counter using special software called the SSC utility.

More information about this issue and the "official" Epson resetter is available from the Epson web site, please read this link:

Please take a moment to rate this solution. Thanks.

you can also use the SSC service utility

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

display This massages Parts inside your printer are near the end of their service life.
See your printer documentation.

1.Turn off the printer.
2. Press the maintenance and the stop button simultaneously.
3.Turn on the printer again while holding the maintenance and the sop button.
this will reset the printer.

This could be the Ink Overflow Protection Error. If it is you may need to get a Rescue Kit for your machine form http://www.TheServiceManualShop.com Does the status monitor or LCD indicate that parts inside are past there service life?
