Dymo LabelManager 160: No charge no ink

My dymo keeps flashing low battery sign but I just changed the batteries also I have it plugged into the wall charger I believe this is also causing it to not print probably everything works like it should except there is no writing on the labels once they print out.

Dymo LabelManager 160: Why are the buttons typing the wrong characters or input?

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 11:26:43 -0700

I have had my Dymo LabelManager 160 for a while. Lately, it has been glitching in which pressing a certain key produces the wrong function. When I press the L key, it activated the rotate function. Also, the punctuation key displays the number 9. Pressing the delete key activated the underline key. Pressing the O key printed the label!

I even tried a factory reset by removing the batteries and pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Then, I reinserted the batteries and pressed power + 9 + backspace. Still did not fix the issue.

I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you for your help!

Dymo LabelManager 160: Why is the characters on my screen flashing etc?

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 18:36:05 -0700

When I turned Dymo on it would not respond when I selected OK. None of the buttons responded it only showed LABEL JAM. I removed cartridge cleaned head and cutter & reset by selecting backspace, 9 and on/off. Now sometimes the screen flashes and the label is moving forward with LABEL JAM showing on the screen. The whole thing has gone crazy. What now?

Dymo LabelManager 160: What transistor is at U3 position?

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 01:59:45 -0700

My device is not turning on. I’ve managed to locate that U3 transistor has burned, but I have no idea what it was. I could really use a picture of that area to know the transitor model and how the traces on PCB are going (since they are burned too :-()
