-problem, white or yellow light will not illuminate when putting refill cartridge into printer.
- things tried
----- reset, unplugged 60 seconds, retried, tried for an hour to get it to illuminate.
----- Used HP smart, set printer back to factory defaults in the advanced settings.
-----make sure the three contacts are clean and touching when refill kit is added.
---- tried to do this with the computer unplugged and plugged in.
-----hit the red "X" button
-----basically tried everything and it will not illuminate a yellow or white light next to the printer fill area. (blinking or not)
---- double checked that the refill cartridge was "143a" - i am using the HP brand refill kit.
