I had a similar problem with a K7 inkset on the R1800. Cover would
barely close and then pop open again.

I simply used cutter to trim a little of the top of the tabs and it
solved my problem. I told Inkjetmall about the tab issue. You should
do the same as I am sure they do care.

I was able to use all the inks in the carts.

For your yellow chip problem, it might just need a reset. But if you
do not have one on hand (chip reseter) I think Inkjetmall should
replace the cartridge for you. (I cannot talk for them but I'd contact
them for sure).

Good luck!
