How to Insert, Remove or Replace a Memory Card in your LG K10 Smartphone – Tutorial

Which Memory Card do I need for my Samsung LG K10 Smartphone?

Make sure you purchase the right Memory Card for your Smartphone. Your LG K10 built-in memory is 16GB. Users who demand more memory from their Phone can install an external microSD or microSDHC (High-Capacity) memory card with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. Do NOT buy an SD Card or microSDXC you need the microSD version! Many microSD Cards come with an SD Card adapter for compatibility with SD-enabled devices, such as cameras, camcorders and (notebook) computers. Memory cards usually come pre-formatted and do not need to be formatted out of the box.

We recommend storing multimedia files (such as music, videos and pictures) on an external memory card in your device to free up your device’s internal memory for applications. Plus, if you buy a new Smartphone, you can simply put your external memory card in your new device and all your data is back immediately.

The SD Association defines standard speed classes indicating minimum performance to record video. The class indicates the minimum writing speed: Class 2 = 2 MB/s, Class 4 = 4 MB/s, Class 6 = 6 MB/s, Class 10 = 10 MB/s. A fast Class 10 card is the best option these days, especially for recording or playing Full HD video.

MicroSD cards are usually shipped preformatted with the FAT file system. Your LG K10 supports only the FAT file structure. If you insert a card formatted with a different file structure, your device will ask you to reformat the memory card. Formatting your memory card on a PC may cause incompatibilities with your device. Format the memory card only on the device: Drag down the notification bar and tap the Settings icon at the top-right. Tap General > Storage. Tap Erase SD card > Erase SD card. If prompted, enter security code > Next. Tap Erase SD card to erase.

Popular memory cards for this Smartphone include, but are not limited to: Samsung EVO 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card with Adapter (MB-MP32DA/AM) and SanDisk Ultra 16GB Ultra Micro SDHC UHS-I/Class 10 Card with Adapter.

Remove the back cover.
Removing the back cover, even with the tools provided, is quite difficult when you consider how easy a phone’s cover removes. Be patient and careful. If you’re in a hurry, you might damage the device or even injure yourself. Removing the back cover might take 10 minutes or more. Prepare your tablet by placing it upside-down on a flat surface with some form of soft padding.

Tools needed:
Plastic Opening Pry Tool.
– Potato peeler. Use this with care and only if you do NOT succeed in creating the first open space between the front and rear panel using other special tools.
Precision Phillips Screwdriver.

7. Insert one of the plastic opening tools and carefully pry around the tablet to separate the front and rear panels. There are clips on the back panel you will need to release while you moving around the tablet. Apply pressure to separate the clips that hold the back cover and the rest of the device together. You may need to go around the device several times carefully applying force for it to come apart. If you do NOT succeed in creating the first opening, use a potato peeler for this (at your own risk).

How to Replace an Empty Ink Cartridge in the HP Photosmart 8250 Printer – an Illustrated Tutorial in 11 Steps

You can check the estimated ink levels from the printer software or from the printer control panel. When no memory card is inserted, the printer screen displays six ink drop icons showing the approximate ink level for each cartridge. You can also press Select Photos ⏵ to see a larger, more accurate view of the ink levels.

hp photosmart 8250_01

From the software: Right-click the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows taskbar, and select Launch/Show HP Solution Center. Select Settings, then Print Settings, and then Printer Toolbox. Click the Estimated Ink Levels tab.

Make sure you purchase the right ink cartridges for your specific printer. Cartridges are not compatible between different brands, and often not within the same brand. HP often designs its inkjet hardware to use country-specific consumables. When you unbox a new HP inkjet printer and set it up, you install a set of ink tanks that ship with the printer. As you turn on the device and get ready to use it, an initialization sequence localizes it to the country associated with the ink cartridges you installed.

Hewlett-Packard Company cannot recommend the use of non-HP ink cartridges. Any damage caused by a non-HP print cartridge is not covered under the HP warranty and service agreements. XL (Extra Large) cartridges cost more but do provide better value in the long run. They will be able to print almost double the pages of a regular cartridge. Our advice is that if you print often, go with XL. However, ink can dry up. So if you are not a frequent printer, go with the regular cartridges.

Which ink cartridges do I need for my HP Photosmart 8250 Printer?

The HP Photosmart 8250 broke with HP’s tradition by offering a single ink system, with replaceable ink tanks for each of the six colours. The cartridges for the Photosmart 8250 don’t have built-in nozzles because the printer has a permanent print head. You must install all six cartridges. The printer will not work if an ink cartridge is
missing.

For your US HP Photosmart 8250 Printer you need an HP 02 Black Ink Cartridge AND 5 color cartridges: HP 02 Cyan, HP 02 Magenta, HP 02 Yellow, HP 02 Light Cyan and HP 02 Light Magenta. XL versions of these cartridges are also available, as well as 6 packs, like the HP 02 Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Light Cyan & Light Magenta Original Ink Cartridges with Photo Paper, 6 pack.

For your European or UK HP Photosmart 8250 Printer you need an HP 363 Black Ink Cartridge AND 5 color cartridges: HP 363 Cyan, HP 363 Magenta, HP 363 Yellow, HP 363 Light Cyan and HP 363 Light Magenta. XL versions of these cartridges are also available, as well as 6 packs, like the HP 363 Series Photo Value Pack.

If you have already used the printer several times and you have installed the HP Photosmart printer software, you can also find the cartridge numbers in the printer software.

1. Press the power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
