Ink Jet Driver Circuits Blown Due to Short Circuit Caused By Ink Spill?
 

I've probably 'fused' the two L6451 driver circuits of my ink jet
printer. I tried the cartridge in another printer of same make and it
works.

Can these driver chips get damaged when shorted by spilled ink from a
leaking cartridge? The ink was spilled all over the gold contacts
probably causing short circuits.

Can I check the driver outputs somehow?

best regards,
Dieter
