Epson 9800 Metal pins in LLB carrier

[David_Banks]

Can anyone help with this problem.
I have an Epson 9800, In the LLB carrier, I can see Two fine pins, bent, laying on the bottom of the carrier. I have been trying for over an hour to install my LLB Pizo cart without any success.

Does anyone know how to dismantle the carrier ?

Many thanks in advance

Two pins from the ink cartridge sensor?

If so you will need to replace the CSIC sensor.

Replacing CICC contacts in 7800 printer

My LC is not being recognized in my 7800 and with a flashlight I’ve determined the contact in the cartridge slot which touches the ink cartridge chip is damaged. One of the contacts is missing or jammed down. Finding the part is easy enough but replacing is what I’m interested in. I have the Epson Field Manual but it does not cover the replacement of that particular part. I’m hoping it can be replaced without disassembling the left cartridge holder. I looked into just buying a new left cartridge…

the manual has the step by step on how to remove the ink bay. It’s pretty self explanatory after that how to get the back part open to remove the sensor

The Epson Wide Format group has the service manual (after joining) in the files section:
