But the fix is simple. No need to go to YouTube and look at all the videos, the fix is a piece of scotch tape and a used new Keurig 2.0 cup.

Peel the top off the used cup, it's the one with a silver ring around the label. With that top, cut the silver ring with scissors so you have just the silver band which is about 1/8" wide. Now cut about 1/2" of this and save the rest. Put that small piece on a piece of scotch tape. Now look underneath, there is a small square opening where a laser led looks thru, place the band across this hole with the scotch tape (see attached photo). You may need to adjust the location but mine worked first time, the middle of the opening is probably OKAY.

There ya go. Have a great cup of coffee. Your
Or you tell them, you made a mistake. They just gave me free 3 24count replacements, Worked for me.
