So my chinese (from Aliexpress) android auto all of the sudden stucks on the logo. I watched some videos that this could be cause by updating or installing incompatible app. But, never did that, never updated it. I did install some apps but thats like 1 year ago and it was working fine for the whole year. I had a good experience with this store, my previous android auto that I bought from the same store still last even after 3 years. So i bought the second one. Without discrediting the origin of the radio, can people suggest me what to do with it? Is it a death sentence? or something that can still be fixed? Ive seen people managed to fix it by installing a new firmware. Could this be the case for me?

Thanks in advance. Photo is the logo stuck is attached.

I have this rather old HP Inktank 415. Been serving me well this guy. I usually use just the black ink but today i needed to use colour one.

First try, only red color printed. Knowing its making a scene, i took out my printing error tools that consist of syringes, air pumping and that stock original sucking tool.

First i made sure the ink from the tank is flowing well. I used that sucking thingy and procees to suck the inks, all ink colour (including black) flowed well.

Then, i used the air pumping tool (its actually the baby nose sucking thing) and forced pump air into the ink cartridges (from where the ink comes in).

I can see that the red ink flows well and come out easily from the metal opening in the bottom of the cartridge. But this was not the case for the blue and yellow ink.

When force pumped the air, the ink that came out was rather dry, almost like gels.

So what i did? I injected hot water to the cartridges, then force pumped the air. I keep pushing until the gel like ink finally gone and the water flowed well.

I dried the cartridges, blew it with preassured air and made sure its 100% dry.

Installed back to the printer and voila!!! All the colours are now working.

Chinese Android Auto stuck on logo 101?

I flushed my printer cartridge with hot water and now its fixed.
