Brother HL-5150D drum unit "salvaging"

[gloa]

After changing the drum and resetting the drum counter, the printer output was "spotty" (because of the fusing unit as I learned later). I tried another new drum (a Brother unit rebuilt by Xerox) and inadvertently reset again the drum counter. As far as I know, this process blows a fuse inside the drum.

Is there a way to salvage the second, practically brand new drum unit when the present drum will "wear out"?

You can use the other drum unit without a problem. Just go through the same reset process when installing the replacement drum unit. The machine reset a internal counter in the machine itself.

Thank you Techtime, I'm looking forward using your hint in due time.

Maybe the problem is the drivers, so you can reinstall the drivers for this software, and you can get it from here: Brother HL-5150D Printer Drivers Download.
