Fix HP LaserJet M653dn Error 10.00.00: Toner Not Detected
The 10.00.00 error on the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M653dn indicates that the printer does not recognize one or more installed toner cartridges. This is usually due to a poor electrical contact between the consumable chip and the printer pins, or an improperly seated cartridge. The primary solution is to remove the affected toner, inspect the contacts, and reinstall it firmly.
Common causes
- 1Dirty toner chip or toner powder residue blocking electrical readings.
- 2Cartridge poorly inserted into the rail, leaving contacts out of alignment.
- 3Accidental damage to the internal printer chassis spring pins.
- 4Factory-defective toner chip or incompatibility with current printer firmware.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
The error usually appears on the panel indicating which specific color is not detected (e.g., 10.00.00 for Black). If the message appears after changing the toner, it is almost certain the chip is not making proper contact or the cartridge is not seated in the guide rail correctly. Verify that no orange protective plastic clips remain on the cartridge.Solución paso a paso
- Open the front door of the printer and remove the toner marked by the error.
- Inspect the chip (the small circuit board on the side of the cartridge) for dirt, toner dust, or physical damage.
- Clean the contacts with a soft, dry cloth, both on the cartridge and inside the printer bay.
- Reinstall the cartridge, ensuring you hear it 'click' into its final position.
Prevención y mantenimiento
Avoid touching the toner chips with your fingers to prevent skin oils from interfering with electrical readings. Keep the interior of the printer free of toner dust using a small electronics-safe vacuum. If using high-yield cartridges, always ensure the locking mechanism is properly engaged.Cuándo llamar a un técnico
Contact a technician if the error persists even after trying a brand-new, original cartridge. This suggests damage to the spring pins on the printer's internal base board or the toner chassis connector.Ficha técnica del equipo
