Does Not Work for HL-L2350DW (Chip Issue)
Purchased these for my new Brother printer (HL-L2350DW), as I've enjoyed this brand in the past (for great mix of quality and value). Upon cartridge installation, I received the message "Cannot detect." All troubleshooting guides (from Brother and elsewhere) were not useful. Finally, I found a tip from another reviewer (CM) to switch the chip on the LINKYO cartridge with the chip on the original Brother cartridge. Unfortunately, I am not that enterprising. I will try to return the LINKYO cartridges and go with original Brother cartridges moving forward.
UPDATE--Based on CM's (other reviewer's) tip, my husband (desperate to print) replaced the chip on the LINKO replacement cartridge with the chip from the original Brother cartridge (received with my new printer). It worked like magic! If you're curious--apparently, the original function of printer chips was to serve as a ledger that tracked print volume by counting printouts. In this way, the printer could tell you when the cartridge was likely to run out. Now, the Brother cartridge chip doesn't do that. We know this, because an old chip transferred to a new cartridge did NOT trigger a "Toner Low" message. Instead, it simply told the printer to recognize the cartridge, accept it, and use it to print.
TIP--Please note that the chip is glued to the original cartridge and you'll need a pocket knife or some other prying device to pop it off. After that, the chip slides easily into a slot on the LINKYO cartridge.
