Is it really necessary to replace this drum when u get the warning message? Can U just reset the counter. I have the MFC-9970CDW. Still hasgood copies

Yes, you can reset and still make copies, however, at some point you will need to replace it. Usually, if you try to extend the life of your current drum unit, you start to lose quality of your printed material.

I would say definitely more, but unfortunately I didn't track it close enough to give you exact numbers.

You can continue to use it and it will work for a period of time, however, you had better order one as its useful life is coming to an end.

I AM ASSUMING THAT it would work just fine, since I am over the 2nd time around that I should receive that message but have not. Yvonne

Yes, I used my drum until the copies were coming out bad, which was well past the time of counter replacement notification.

No, I've never had a problem with this machine (so far) Maybe it is just your machine and you should ask the mfg. to replace it? I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems.

Here's another "thank you" for the information. I just received my new Brother MFC-9840CDW and bought the recommended SODIMM from OEMPCWorld. Everything worked fine, right out of the box. Fantastic!

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

Hi there John C. I have the MFC 9320cw an older model and I had to replace about 2 drums but it only comes in a pack of 4. I purchased mine right here on Amazon. It was sold in a pack of 4. I couldn't buy it separately. Have a Blessed Day!! JT

Yes - I had the same issue. I did the following and got WAY more life out of them. there are sensors on the sides of the toner cartridge (it might be the drum). I covered them with black tape and then reset the toner through the menu. This video shows the reset process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wv80u_NA_Q

There really aren't that many things to check on these machines. Make sure "the wire" is clean; don't use "compatible" non-Brother toner cartridges; check the "drum life" indicator under "machine info" on the soft key menu(s). The drum and toner cartridges work together. If you've exceeded the drum's rated lifespan, it won't matter how new/full your toner cartridge is. It's time to replace the drum.

I do not remember having this problem. Make sure that it is not warped...and that it will not get stuck. I've not had that problem and I buy the $200 (on sale) Brother MFC-7360N and recycle them once I've used their life up. About 1 to 1.5 years.....ask for a replacement if you are worried and that is why I try to have a couple on the shelf at all times. :)

It usually gives fair warning, but when it gets to the page capacity for the drum unit, it will tell you that it must be replace and you won't be able to print. You can always reset the drum counter if your printer has the option if you want to keep using the same drum.

Hmmm...usual options first. Make sure needle isn't damaged, player is on flat surface, records are clean, etc. I honestly haven't had any issues with mine and I use it at least once a day. And it sits on a djembe drum! Worst case scenario you may have to trade it in for a new one.

usually the machine will give you a message that you need a new drum, did you use the OEM toner cartridge ? this may casuse a problem

Hello Bansheer Briar, Thank you for your email. Usually it does mean that you need to change the toner. As far as the drum is concern, it usually leaves black stripes on the paper. For a better information, Please contact Brother support. Regards

Anyone considering this unit should understand that replacing the drum will cost you $220 at a minimum, so be prepared! And no, there is no drum reset option (short of buying a chip resetter) so don't even bother looking.

I have had mine for almost 3 years. It stopped the other day and when I opened it up, the batteries had leaked. I figured it was damaged so I began my search (in vain) for a new machine. After purchasing several new sound cards over the years I was anxious to find another S-650 In reading the customer reviews, I learned about the "reset" button located under the batteries. I took out the batteries, poked a paper clip in the little hole and my machine works again, just like new. I'm very happy to be able to use it again as it has been very helpful with my husband's Tinnitus. I could not locate another like this so it MAY be discontinued. Great product!!

Any news or clarification on the Prop 65 warning? How can it be clarified if the manufacturer doesn't know why the warning has been marked on their product? I want to purchase this machine, but hesitate until this issue is cleared up.
