Thanks for all the replys , Seller now admits a fault and is willing to exchange.
Thanks again.

Great - let's hope the new system works properly. Good luck!!

Hi, A new set of carts and everything is now fine - Thanks for all your help.

Glad to be of assistance. Cheers

Just a rather late but general tip on this..

Sometimes this error can come about too because the cartridge "rides up" or doesn't seat properly due to some small spur of plastic causing the cart to sit badly... My "favourite" is when the 2 little plastic lugs that are usually melted to hold the chip in place, actually get in the way and cause the contacts to have a poor connection... Careful shaving with a sharp blade tends to do the trick but this is only for the desperate.
