HP photosmart a636 does not illuminate

I did not use my hp photosmart a636 for a year or two and since my parents ' anniversary, it's tomorrow, I wanted to use it to print a photo, but it won't turn! Please help me if I can print a picture for tomorrow!

Hi jess1029

Plug the printer directly into the wall.
The reason for this step is because the unit has already built in the surge protector and if you have connected it to a bar or a surge protector, then the unit will get not all the power it needs to function properly and it will cause problems with false errors on the screen or turn and analysis of the issues.

Check the connection at each end. Examine the power cord.

Not move the printer in another room and use a different plug.

You can try a reset of the power.

I hope this helps.

  • Photosmart C309a does not illuminate and its power adapter 0957-2259 LED flashes.

    I have a Photosmart all-in-in-one C309a.  A few days ago I started to receive messages from the ink system dailure, with the 0xc19a003e code.  I followed it to corresponding to a unit of printhead failed, so I ordered a replacement parts HP UK store on Friday, October 14, and it came today, Monday the 17th. Great rotation of the order of HP UK - thank you.

    When I came to adapt to the new print head today, the printer does not illuminate.  No sign of the power of the power button, the buttons command or display.  The power adapter (model number 0957-2259) has a green LED which was (and still is) very quickly - flashing several times per second.  After that the power had been in the power adapter for a while (several tens of minutes I think, I wasn't timing it) noise started coming from the inside of the printer.  It is a kind of regular knocking and seems to echo the led blinks - but there was still no sign of power - including no movement of the ink/printhead assembly.

    I tried to find suggestions online and I've seen a few posts on some websites that suggest that the adapter can be unloaded in some way - but they are almost exclusively on the PC.  Posts read as if there is some kind of capacitor which accumulates (too) charge and discharge it restores the adapter to the operating state.

    I just reconnected the power again to see if there is no change.  After about 10 minutes, hit him coming back for a few moments then stopped.  I noticed that the LED on the AC Adpater was green fixed so I tried the power switch on the printer and it began to start.  But then hit him came back, the display panel started flashing white light and then complete disappearance of signs of life (other than sound knocking, which became intermittent, maybe 5-15 seconds each time).  The LEDs returned to.

    And then after maybe 20-30 minutes with the power, the printer finally tried to start, the light of the AC adapter / CC has been stable and my computer thought that the printer was (briefly) online.

    But the adapter light started blinking and now the printer behaves as if it has no power.

    It seems to me that the symptoms is due to a problem with the AC adapter.  Then

    (A) that seems reasonable?

    (B) is there a way to release or otherwise 'fixing' the adapter?

    or (C) is it better/more safe to replace the adapter?

    TIA,

    Chris

    The adapter can be reset as described here.

  • Photosmart 5520 does not illuminate

    Hey,.

    After disconnecting and reconnecting the printer on the wall, it shows no signs of activity more.

    No lights are on (outside and inside the printer) and we can not turn on with the switch. It worked fine before. We tried several places where we can connect the printer, nothing has changed. We also tried a different cable, also did not work.

    It is not in sleep mode I see on the internet, it just shows no signs of life. Also it does not resemble the broken delayed or anything.

    Any help is appreciated!

    You can always update your firmware with iTunes. But it seems you might have a larger, likely hardware problem with your phone.

    Try to restore the firmware with iTunes. If this does not help, make an appointment with a genius at the Apple Store.

    Buy IPod Touch last summer (August 2015) and died this morning. Can not activate it or it will load. Any suggestions?

    Try the following steps:

    1. Press and hold the home and power buttons at the same time for at least 15 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.
    2. If this does not work, load your iPod for at least 10 minutes, or until the Apple logo appears.
    3. If none of the steps above do not work, here is a link to give you more information: If your iPod touch does not illuminate

    Satellite Pro C660 does not illuminate. no noise, no light just fill out the dead.

    any suggestions?

    Hello

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis. All you can do is to unplug the power plug, remove the battery and leave it for a while. Then press the power button and hold it for 15 or 20 seconds.
    After doing this connect the power running and try to start again.

    Hello

    LED flashes orange?
    If you mean the DC-in LED if it flashes orange if the output voltage of the adapter is abnormal or if power outages.
    If you mean the Power LED so it flashes orange while the computer stops if you select sleep mode.
    If you mean battery LED if it flashes orange when the battery reaches a low battery indicator.

    I think you should check if the AC adapter has no malfunction and provide enough power.

    I think you should also try another solution that I found in this forum.
    So to remove the battery and unplug the AC of the laptop and wait form (10-15 min) then several times the battery and connect the AC to the laptop and try to start the laptop.
    Eventually, it helps.
