What is PIS sensor and what does a PIS sensor do?
PIS Sensor. Some people call it "Photo Ink Sensor". It is an analog proximity sensor that measures the reflection of infrared from objects. According to Kevin, Epson's A2140859 sensor board has a capacitor to clean out the input, then the rest of data can be found by looking at Sharp GP2Y0A21YK. If your printer's PIS sensor is broken, it will throw non-recoverable errors during start up. However, the sensor can be easily replaced.
Before ordering it, make sure the model number matches the A number on the back (see photos above). This sensor board is widely used in WorkForce (WF), Expression Home (XP), and other series. Because the board is so simple, just a sensor and a capacity, as long as it fits in your printer, you can try it even your model number doesn't match (no gurantee). Therefore, we included detailed measurements (see photos) in case you want to try to replace a different model.

Not a 5 difficulty! Would give it a 3. I watched the video and it came out perfect. I sanded and ran cart under faucet. I used Harbor Freight quick glue. I practiced a few times and used a lot of glue. Let it dry for 1 hour (30 seconds may have been enough) and filled. Made a mess when I used the plunger ( which I don't think was required). Dabbed with paper towel and put in printer. Worked perfect the first time. Really like the clear plastic cover so you can see how much ink in in the cart. Will be ordering more for my wife's printer at work.

BCH offers amazing quality products at very reasonable prices. I ordered the 4 ink 30ml kit and a larger black to refill my #62 HP cartridges. The videos are great and show how to easily refresh these wasteful cartridges and save a bunch of $. Thanks to Kevin and the team at BCH!

4-Color Dye Ink Refill for All Printers - INK ONLY BULK PACK
It was just what we needed. Thanks to your YouTube instruction I was able to order the part and fix my 83 yr old sister's printer. I am an 80 yr old female and was thrilled that this part fixed her printer and saved her some money since she did not have to buy a new printer. I have never before tried to fix something like this. Needless to say, I was surprised it work so well.
