108.05 service printhead error

Hi
"VHT leak detection error of left printhead,
in case of VHT exceeds rated value or falls
below the rated value."
So, error shows left printhead feeding voltage problem. It can be result of fault:
-printhead;
-Carriage relay board;
-flexible cable
-main controller.
Low speed of printing can be when printhead have overrange with it temperature; and when printing, printer makes a pauses to cold printhead. More information you can get from file PRINT INF under SERVICE MODE.
If you are a "ordinary user", looks like you can only try to change left printhead (success not guaranted!).

Did u observed the belt having 50% vertical tracks & 50% horizontal tracks?. The vertical tracks as well as horizontal proper position?.. understand the snap., re install the belt once again as shown in fig... i hope UR problem will be resoled..

For HP C5180 printers, if you observe an INK SYSTEM FAILURE message then the permanent PRINTHEAD may be electrically damaged (unfortunately it is not replaceable; you can verify this by performing the following):

The 'incompatible cartridge' error message is not a common error message associated with the Photosmart C5180 printer model - in most cases when the HP02 cartridge is not recognized, or has poor connectivity, you will normally receive an "Unrecognized Cartridge" or "Cartridge Problem" error message with a big RED X; in most cases (like 99.3%) the smart chip needs to be replaced with a new one - please note the chip life has 25 month expiration window from the time the cartridge is initially installed into the printer. Costco and Fry's Electronic's provide this top-notch refilling/programming service today.

Replace with new printhead if the print head is past it's service life. If not past it's service life when you get that error message press the online button and it should print fine.

THAT 0X ERROR IS AN INK SYTEM FAILURE IT MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED FROM THE REFURBED CARTRIDGES... THE HP WILL WORK WITH THE REFURBS FOR A FEW TIMES BEFORE REJECTING THE CARTRIDGE OR CAUSING AN 0x ERROR. THE UNIT NEEDS TO GO THRU AN ELABORATE INK SYSTEM RESET. OR HAVE THE PRINTER REPLACED

a 935 printhead error is a fatal error which means the scanner motor has failed to initialize. the term printhead is short for printhead scanner. this error can be caused by either the engine board or the scanner % wise 40%engine board 60% scanner ive done 120 repairs on lexmark laser for the last 7 years trust me one of these is the problem
