HP M110W Laser Printer Cartridge Chip
July 9, 2025
The latest HP toner cartridge has the electronic chip glued in with very, very strong glue.
The first thing I did was to mark the edge of the chip with red ink so that I would know which way round to fit it into the new cartridge.
I cut away the plastic around the chip using very sharp side cutters. It was impossible to pry the chip out.
I used a hot air pencil to melt the plastic and a pair of ceramic-tip tweezers to pull the chip away.
(You might be able to use a paint stripper gun or a soldering iron instead.)
With the chip finally out, I used abrasive paper to remove the plastic that was firmly stuck to the back of it.
Then I was able to push the chip into the holder on the new toner cartridge.
Push it all the way to the right until it will go no further.
With the new cartridge installed, my printer worked normally without further effort.
DO NOT expose the roller/drum to bright light! Keep the cover in place until the cartridge is ready to install.
