DeskJet 932C - the power light is on and the cartridge flashing

Hello! I know my DeskJet 932C is 'old', but it seems to be in excellent condition.  First time that I had a problem.  The power light is on and the cartridge is flashing.  When I open the cover, the plateau of the cartridge moves to the far left.  The arrow points to the unfortunate color cartridge.  The missed years ago color cartridge.  I use my printer to print B & W, so I've been printing with the empty cartridge in place for years.

I removed a reinserted the color and B & W cartridges and turn on the power and turns off.  I used the HP print and scan doctor, and it's scan does not have something wrong, I clicked on print a test page, and nothing happens.  The test page is listed as 1 document in the queue.   Status: error - printing.

The printer has been in its current position on my desk for years.  It was not known of any trauma... None does damage... no power failure.  It's clean.  Has been connected to 4 laptops and uninterrupted service.

I prefer not to buy a new color cartridge.

Would appreciate help.  I would like to know what it means and if there is a solution.

Thank you!

The printer will perform electrical cartridges to light control and a few other times.  If an error printing can be blocked to avoid damaging the printer.  Clean the contacts of the cartridge as shown in the document here can solve the problem, otherwise you will probably need to replace the color cartridge.  The 932 Deskjet will allow printing with an empty cartridge, but for years, the cartridge may fail electrically and needs to be replaced.

  • S5-1224 blue power light stays on after stopping; What happened to the orange light "sleep"?

    I have a Slimline Paviliion S5 - 1224.  No changes or additions were made to the material.  When I stop the machine, it is used to change the orange or the wide power led.  Now, the blue power light stays on and blinks after power off the power.  The light on the adapter bluetooth in the front USB port stays on, too.  After removing the USB BT adapter, the light on the adapter goes off, indicating that the power is off to this USB port.  But PC power light blue is not far away, even when it is disconnected from the wall outlet.  It's as if the machine is haunted.  I unplugged the decision-making and the left that it disconnected for more than a week, but the blue light on the front of the machine never went out and is still on, even if she wavers and seems to fade a little.  When I turned on the rear, the light back to him is normal on State 'blue '.  Power off, blue light stays on.  Disconnected from the plug, light blue stays on.  I'm afraid to leave this thing in the House and will probably trash if someone does not have a solution.  Anyone who has ever seen anything like that?  All my friends of teckie IT are puzzled and suggested I post here to see if anyone else had the same problem.  Don't bother taking repair.

    UPDATE: I removed all devices and low and behold, when I unplugged my BluRay USB drive, the lights are all on the CPU.  I restarted, close, tried to sleep and Hibernate and everything works fine now.  I guess that the BluRay player was watching somehow the CPU to turn it off.  It is a unit that is known for needing a huge amount of energy to function properly.  Naturally, the Blu - Ray player is not get reconnected to this HP PC.   Now I use with my Mac.

  • Satellite does not - the power light flashes

    I tried to turn on my laptop and there is a yellow light where the green power light should be, and he won't even be able to until this could be

    Hello

    What laptop do you use?

    Seems the laptop provides a blink code. This means that a material error has been detected.
    Usually short blinking means 0 and a long time means 1.
    The authorized technician must be able to read such a code and to locate the hardware failure.

    Above all it s something wrong on the motherboard!
    Then I n t think you will be able to fix it. This is not possible if you have no experience and the right tools and parts of s.

    So in my opinion, you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

    Good luck

  • Satellite L755 - 16L - led power lights up after full stop

    Hello world

    I have a problem with the led power indicator. He gets after I completely stop my laptop. After I closed the power light lid Gets and it stays on. No AC adapter is connected, but it seeps. I don't understand why?

    I read the manual of Toshiba in which it is said:
    1. the power led indiacator to become white if the laptop is turned on.
    2 - the power led indicator? truns orange and blinks when the laptop is in sleep mode
    3 and there is no other action made by the power light...

    As in my case, when I stop my laptop all lights out, but after a few seconds, the power led (orange) lights up. Please help me to slove this.

    Hello

    Yes, that is really strange and normally if you shut down the computer (not standby) and unplug the AC adapter, all LEDs should be disabled.

    Since when have you noticed the problem? Have you connected external devices to the laptop?

    This new model s notebook, and probably it has something to do with the BIOS. Have a look at the Toshiba website, if you can find a newer version of the BIOS:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But before you start the update also to read the instructions to update the BIOS of Toshiba. It gives you a lot of information about how to update the BIOS.

  • HP Pavilion dv2000 power light flashing

    I have a HP Pavilion dv2000

    I have a hp laptop, I had problems with the battery with do not load, so I changed the battery.

    now the problem here is the computer will not be stopped unless I have remove the battery. No, even if I press and hold the power botton.

    When I go through the normal shutdown procedure, it all happens but the power light blinks constantly and it will stay like that, unless the block is disconnected.

    It sounds like you have a hardware with either the battery or the computer problem (or both since the power button problem occurs when it is connected only to a power outlet as well).  Take the machine to a repair shop of computer with a good reputation for diagnosis and repairs or replacement parts.  I'm all but certain this isn't a problem of software with Vista.

    Good luck!

  • DeskJet 932C, Windows 7, a red and green light on the machine will not work

    Both my red light and green light are on and printer has stopped working.  What, on the contrary, do in addition to become another printer? When I press red light nothing happens. When I turn printer off and on again the same lights appear.  When I open the cover, nothing happens.  Should I throw away it and get a new one or can it be fixed?

    It seems that the camera is blocked in an error state.  There is a section in the user guide for the printer Deskjet 932C which covers when there are flashing lights.  I'll link this information below.

  • DeskJet 1055: Custom printer printing, Dim. power light and back to normal

    Hello

    I bought this printer in America and I took it with me to Brazil, where I live now.

    The scanner in it works very well, and also the test page prints fine.

    But when I try to print my own pictures, he used impression. Its like the printer simply ignores the document. My computer tells me the print job, or sometimes didn't display any status at all in the print list. And the power light fades and returns slowly to normal.

    It has new cartridges, and I can't seem to make it work. Function print and Scan Dr. I have all possible updates and its all supposed to work very well.

    Can you guys please help me? I contacted the support to the Brazil, but told me that I should talk to HP WE.

    Its a shame that the product does not work, this printer has been barely used...

    Thank you

    I understand that the printer is capable of printing a test properly page. This seems to indicate that this isn't a hardware problem and it is more likely to be software related problem.

    Due to the slight dimming, I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.

    • Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    • Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.
    • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Please confirm that you have the printer connected to the USB 2.0, rather than a USB 3.0 port.

    Running Windows XP - SP3.  Power light is flashing and the fan motor is running but no video input for monitor and no power to the keyboard.  I tried another monitor, but still no video input.  I wonder if the motherboard went wrong or what happened.  Thanks for any help.  Pat J

    Since there is no power for the keyboard and monitor, the issue seems to be with the material. I suggest that get you in touch with the hardware manufacturer for further assistance on the issue.

  • Difficulty in the light on the AC adapter and the power light power on after connect you to the laptop

    HP Pavilion dv3t notebook. Each time get adapter connect to the laptop, it takes at least 10 minutes to get the AC adapter and power indicator light on. Sometimes it does not light on all day.  It always happens any with the battery or not.

    If I start the laptop with the light on the AC adapter and the power light, no matter how I move the power cord, it maintains support, works very well.

    But if I start the laptop without the light on the AC adapter and the power led on even with the, i.e. start with the battery as power, no matter how I move the power cord, the led on the AC adapter and the light, i.e. no charge. He stops until the battery drain.

    I believe that the AC adapter is good. But I have no idea why he has trouble in the light on the AC adapter and the power light on after to connect to the laptop.

    Dv6 had a somewhat similar problem that was treated with a BIOS upgrade. I watched the latest BIOS for your laptop and there is nothing about a problem of load, however. If it works very well and also a long time that you turn it on with the AC plugged in but only has a problem with loading when you connect the adapter Windows runs, I'm tempted to say that it is a software problem as a problem with Windows power management. Maybe if you remove the hard drive, power supply, switch it on with battery only, then plug the adapter when you run in a pre-Windows environment, we can see if the same problem occurs. If it was my cell phone, I would also like to do the update BIOS level, just to see if maybe it would affect something. I could also try to run it from a Linux Live disc any and see if the same problem occurs in another operating system. Last resort I would begin focusing on the issues of possible material, as a module of taking bad AC, which is an other replaceable part that requires no welding.
