OKI MPS5502 Toner Add issue

Re: OKI MPS5502 Toner Add issue

If you remove the toner cart, look on the left hand side there is a brass contact. It should have 2 tabs, are they broken or misshaped? If you remove the drum and toner together there are 2 of the sensors.

That should be the right side, sorry.

Service manual states.......

Confirm that the toner sensor works normally by
using the SWITCH SCAN function of the selfdiagnostic
mode.
Place a white paper in front of the toner sensor,
and check if the SCAN state changes or not

Where oh where is this toner sensor? All I see is two contact points on toner and two on imaging unit??????

OK not much OKI experience here.....

Machine does not recognise adding a toner cartridge. The cartridge has a chip on bottom that contacts
corresponding "chip reader" on drum unit.

I have cleaned all contacts, ensured proper seating of units and ensured the toner cart. is locked in place.

Is this a common issue on this model?

Any tips, hints or guidance greatly appreciated.
