HP Photosmart C6180 with abnormal shutdown Message

My HP Photosmart C6180 began to make a loop of continuous restart with error of abnormal termination. I've now tried # and 6 at startup to do a reset, but that only solves the problem for about 30 minutes.

I read on other forums on the internet that this is due to faulty capacitor anyone else managed to solve this problem?

I notice seven other users seem to have this problem on the forum.

I have the same problem. Is it possible to fix once and for all?

Hi, yes I managed to fix my printer and it is working normally again! However, it is a bit complex - I had to remove the circuit board and replace the capacitors. I put the instructions on this site below as a method step by step for fixing.

http://www.roshgaind.com/?p=200

You will need to have a soldering iron, torx screwdriver and buy new capacitors. The whole process takes about 1 to 2 hours, I had limited experience with soldering, but I am familiar with disassemble computers.

Attempt at your own risk - soldering irons are very hot and can cause injury if not done properly this can permanently damage your printer If in doubt ask a service center to fix your printer or buy a new one.

  • HP Photosmart C6180 Magenta Ink not printing

    error message: no

    description of the problem: Magenta Ink not print not EXCEPT on the page that prints after aligning the print cartridge printing is performed. At the bottom of this page, the bars of yellow, Cyan and Magenta print perfectly, just like the mixture of the color shown in the colorful bird printed below the bars.

    Self Test Diagnostic Page is printed with bars No. Light Magenta or Magenta, under print quality model. State of ink and level for both shows like OK magenta and 100%

    Troubleshooting: I ran repeated cycles of head cleaning and aligning the print cartridge print without changing the output. The page that prints after cleaning has NO magenta bars or lines. Seems the page that prints after alignment. Via e-mail support, I was directed to perform a complete reset "semi" and "the NVM reset" - neither of these had no effect. Magenta inks have been replaced, but the problem persists.

    Exchange: the printer had not been used for several months.

    My printer started working. It had been disconnected and sitting for several months. I turned it to try the HP solutions (below) and found that it worked - I had nothing to do!  In any case, I hope this can help some of you with similar problems:

  • Installation failed for HP Photosmart C6180 wireless for my laptop HP Pavilion (window Vista Home Premium) 64-bit

    Hello

    I have HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-One printer, that works well with my other Compaq Presario SR2001NX desktop (Window XP) wired without any problem.
    But after I bought the new laptop about a month ago, I tried to install this printer on my wireless laptop.
    I downloaded HP driver for vista 64-bit, which is not always in the final phase of installation showing big 'X' mark on the screen of the window.
    Several chatting online with HP technician did not work at all, and I couldn't connect the printer with that laptop apparently more up-to-date, which is quite frustrating.
    I know how to connect the printer wireless with router. The printer screen shows it is correctly connected to the Wi - Fi network.

    I wonder if Microsoft already knows this kind of installation problems.

    It seems that Windows does not install automatic blower for this printer. Most of the HP printers is listed on the function of automatic installation of the window, but this printer is not included.

    Hello Itnntkim,

    Thanks for posting of Microsoft Answers.

    I checked on the compatibility of Windows Vista site and this printer is compatible with the 64-bit system, but it shows there is a required download for the drivers. I've included here the compatibility site.
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=PhotoSmart%20C6180%2032%2f31ppm%204800x1200dpi%20Print%2fCopy%2fScan%2fFax%20NIC%20U&v=HP&uid=Q8181AABA&pf=0&pi=0&s=HP%20PhotoSmart%20C6180%20all-in-one%20multifunction&os=32-bit

    Make sure that you have all the updated drivers for the HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-One printer.

  • What is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    Hi all

    I have a HP Photosmart C6180. I recently changed to Windows 8 32-bit. I downloaded the HP Windows 8 drivers, but I still have problems with the printer. In Control Panel, the printer status says "error".  I think that it could possibly be a problem with the printer port settings. So, my question is, what is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, JoeRocket

    Hello JoeRocket,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your Photosmart C6180 enjoys a status of "error". I will do my best to help you! I would start by following this entire document on "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print.

    This document provides steps to check the printer driver and port of your computer. Please post your results, I'll be looking forward to hear from you.

    Have a good night!

  • HP Photosmart C6180: hp photosmart c 6180 turns off when it is connected to the network and blinks green photo

    When my Photosmart C6180 is related to two wireless and ethernet network after any number of hours it stops itself down and the green light on the front panel by the icon of camera flashes.  You will then have to push the power button to turn back.  Not very practical for a network printer. Router is a Linksys WRT 1900 ACS.

    Hi wjabdella,

    Thank you for your answer!

    In the post I provided on the hard reset, he mentioned: sometimes, when plugged into a surge protector or battery backup, the quantity of electricity is not received by the printer.  Power problems can cause printing problems.  It is particularly important to be plugged directly into a wall outlet with wireless connectivity problems, "sleep mode" and other power problems.

    So by unplugging the power and waiting, it resets the printer almost to its original state without making a complete factory reset and lose any other information.

    Don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I install Photosmart C6180 all-in-One on my Mac using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.   I want to access using Mac HP Photosmart for details on its use, but I can not find this file.  In the folder applications folder Hewlett-Packard includes HP Scan, uninstall HP, HP utility and utility peripheral files and licenses.

The CD that came with the all-in-one is the version 7.8.0.  I am out of the help file or I misunderstood the instructions and I already have all the files?  If so how do I access the folder help?

  • Photosmart C6180 cannot detect the wireless network

    I have a Photosmart C6180 for over a year, and until recently it connected wireless very well.  But since a week ago, it can't detect the wireless network.  I turned off the printer and wireless router several times each without success.  The "Wireless Setup Wizard" running on the C6180does not help. Watch simply screen printer "looking for... wireless router. "indefinitely, until the function Cancel.  The wireless router is about four feet from the printer, in a direct line of sight.  In addition, I have wireless Internet access using the same router and continue to do this successfully, then the router itself works.  Recently I have updated the firmware on the router as well (after the beginning of this problem).  Running the network Test report wireless on a 'PASS' C6180 returns for "Radio on" but a "FAILURE" for "use of Radio". The radio broadcasts as "about" section of the Menu Radio wireless network.  My router is a Belkin Wireless G Router model F5D7230-4.  The printer prints very well with a wired connection, but wireless connectivity has been a key reason behind my purchase.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Sorry, but your wireless radio is dead.  Its time for a new printer.

  • Photosmart C6180 repeatedly loses the wireless connection

    Hello

    I have a mixed network of linux and windows PC as a Photosmart C6180 wireless access via a Netgear (DG834GT) wireless router.

    It works very well for over a year, but recently the printer keeps dropping the network.

    Show all PC (linux and windows) as offline and the router says that this isn't one of the connected devices, and I can't ping it.

    However, if I look at the State of the network on the front panel, it says which is plugged, and if I print the network status page it shows the active connection, wireless and watch as loan.

    This isn't a DHCP problem. The printer and all PCs have static IP address settings.

    If I change the printer market once again, it connects to the network, everything is OK and I can print, but a few minutes later it disconnects again.

    For now, I'll have to pass it works whenever I feel - please help!

    Thank you

    JohnT

    Hello

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    It seems it might be a problem with netgear!

    I rolled power the router netgear (normally on the left) and the problem seems to have disappeared.

    Thanks for your help.
