Q: After replacing my printer's printhead, the fuse blows, stopping ink flow. This happens with every new printhead after a few prints. What could be the cause?

A: It sounds like you're facing a challenging issue. Based on what you've described, there are a few educated guesses we can make. Firstly, since your printer powers up, it indicates that your power bridge is operational. The problem might stem from the connection to the printhead, such as the FFC cable or the connection socket, or it could be an issue with the mainboard itself. When you start printing, the mainboard might send a strong current to the fuse, causing it to blow. Additionally, your usage habits could contribute to this problem; specifically, performing power cleaning on your printer tends to blow the F1 fuse.
