Samsung ML 1640 error

1: open up the printer's back cover
[you will find there two boards... you need to focus on the smaller one]

2: find the 93c66 chip [it's a tiny chip on the board as shown in this picture:   the chip you are looking for is the one
samsung Samsung ML 1640
that has that green wire on it... yours won't have the wire on it...]

3: focus on pins 1 & 4 [looking at the picture will help you identify them... in the picture... it's the two pins that are connected with the green wire]

4: as soldering might be difficult [it was for me :P] you can find a paper clip, open it up... and connect the two ends to the two pins [imagine that the green wire is actually your paper clip] IMPORTANT: don't touch the paper clip with your fingers, use some nippers [gosh :)) i don't know the word in english for this :P ... it's "cleste" or "patent" in romanian]

5: as you have the paper clip connected, turn the printer on... wait for 15 seconds...

[if you will pay attention to the control light on the front of the printer... you will notice that it will be red for a while, and then green... don't exactly know the order :P]

6: turn the printer off... disconnect the paper clip...

7: put the cover back...
