Flashing lights, no printing

I print on my Photosmart 7280 almost every day.  Today I went to print a picture, and ALL the lights flashed and the screen said to turn the printer off and then on again.  I pushed the power button, and it went off for a millisecond before restarting on it's own.  It gave me the do not interrupt printer preparation occuring message and looked normal.  So I tried to print again, with the same results.  This happened whether I printed a picture or a document.  So now I can't print at all and I called the help line and he told me he could sell me another one for $179.  I told him I'd have to talk to my husband first, and he said I couldn't have this offer if I called back (which I think is strange)...okay, off the original subject...he said it's a hardware problem and I need a new printer.  I would rather just keep this one if I can.  Any suggestions?

1. Turn on the printer.
2. Unplug the power cable from the wall socket or surge protector.
3. Press the power button 3 times.
4. Plug the power cable into a wall socket and NOT into the surge protector, if it was connected there before.
5. After the printer starts up, try printing.

  • How do I fix Cartridge Error and flashing light message on my 4215xi all-in-one? I use windows 8.1

    This equipment was working just fine after I installed a re-filled black ink cartridge.   A few days later I began to get a flashing light with the message: Cartridge Error. See Product Documentation for details.   Sometimes my computer said the printer was offline when it wasn't.   I have also had occasional cartridge door open messages when the door was closed.    I have removed the two cartrdges, cleaned them with water by using a coffee filter as  a swab.  I have also uninstalled and, I think, reinstalled the software printer driver, but I am not entirely certain as to that.

    Hi there @donpablitosan!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    I would be happy to help in regards to the flashing lights and cartridge error on the printer.  You had also mentioned that the computer sometimes shows the printer offline or door open errors.  I should be able to help with that as well!
    The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord.  This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting.  If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors or have poor connection and paper feed issues.
    From what I can find it looks like you have done all the troubleshooting regarding the cartridge itself.  If you have tried the above suggestion and are still getting the same issue then you may need to try another cartridge to see if the issue is coming from the printers hardware or the cartridge.  
    Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums! 
    Please post back and let me know how it goes and enjoy your day!

  • HP Photosmart C7280 Power issue with flashing lights

    I have seen many posts on the web regarding flashing lights and incorrect shut downs.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Photosmart-C5180-Power-Up-Power-Down-Problem-L...
    I have tried everything including the "*,#" with "1,2,3" to reset the printer and I have the power cord plugged into a direct outlet, not a power strip, and nothing works.  Even if I do get the printer reset and it works, shortly later the lights will start flashing again and I see a blue screen with a power button symbol and some varying code (00729C98) - it varies each time.  It flashes after a short time even if I power down correctly - all on its own if plugged in.  Is there a defect with faulty part on the control board?  If so who do I take it to to get it fixed?  The printer is less than 2 years old.

    I recently had the same problem with an HP Photosmart C7280, the same model as yours. I eventually managed to get through to HP Technical Support, and they advised that the unit would have to be replaced. I think if you call through, you can get a refurbished model for a cheaper rate.
    Before calling technical support, I tried all the steps that have been recommended in various posts, but nothing helped. To the best of my knowledge - and I really tried to get my printer working - the unit is dead.
    (Although this is an old post, I came across it when trying to fix the same issue. So, hopefully this will help anyone else who stumbles upon this post. Some other codes my printer showed on the HP "blue screen of death" were B83FCB56, B0075110 and B02BAEC3.)

  • I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

    I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning.  At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot.  Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad.  I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.

  • Won't turn on, flashing light, loud buzzing when I try to charge it?

    My ipod died in April and I got a replacement from the apple store as it was still (just!) under warranty. I woke up in the middle of the night last night because my ipod was flashing - not on and off, just a blank flashing light. I tried turning it on and off but it didn't work and didn't even turn on.
    When I got up today the flashing had stopped. I tried charging it but as soon as I plugged in the lead from my computer it started making a really loud buzzing noise. I don't mean the whirring/clicking noise that seems to be common enough when they die (that's what happened my last one, but it would turn on and display the battery with exclamation mark), but a real buzzing sound.
    It started flashing again too after being plugged in for less than a minute. I left it plugged in for a while but the noise was driving me crazy so I've unplugged it now.
    Has anyone come across this problem before? I haven't dropped it or had it near liquids etc, I've been treating it like a newborn baby since the last one died! I've googled and tried searching apple support but I haven't come across anything similar. Any help would be great, thanks!

    If you connected it to both your computer's USB port and a USB power adapter on a wall outlet, I think you've ruled out a problem with the power source.  Since you at least get the red light, the USB docking cable is probably OK. 
    So, if it's not the USB port or the docking cable, the cause is likely to be on the shuffle.  It may be the battery or a problem on the logic board.  If it was just the battery, I think it would still appear in iTunes on the computer (or at least be recognized by the system).
    (If this shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.)

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • N95 turn flash light on,and can't turn it off- Pro...

    Hi, I have N95-1 firmware v21.0.016. I didn’t decide yet to update new v30, because some reviews I thought that it’s better to skip this and wait next.
    The problem I experience with my device is that some time (it’s happened few times) in ordinary use (not camera use), my flash light (camera light) turn on and wont turn off even if I turn phone off. I tried removing the battery and the light goes off. As soon I put the battery back in the light comes on again even phone is still off. When I turn camera on (by opening it), light go off but when I close it it’s turn on again. I find solution, to take any picture, and after that everything goes back to normal.
    Does any one else had experience like mine? What can provoke this behavior?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First thanks for response.
    Rrangel, thanks for advice, but I can turn my flash off. It simple, taking picture (and that is the only way for that) and after that everything go in normal. I can close camera and continue to use my phone normally (no flash light on). I can turn phone off and on again, it’s will work normally and no flash light problem. However, this might happened again.
    I have 4 GB takems memo card in the phone. And phone wasn’t in contact with water or steam, it never fall or had any defect.
    First I thought it’s because some third part application. When it’s happened first time, phone was running Rotate Me, Flip Silent (that I was just installed and test how it’s will work), Advanced Call Manager, and I was rejecting some phone call. I thought it’s because Flip Silent, but second time, phone didn’t run any of those applications, I was just change theme and flash light turn on.
    First time I find out that, removing battery and restarting of the phone will not help, so I simply take picture, like first time (delete picture immediate after), and continue to use phone normally. I’m just confused what the reason is?

  • Elements 10, windows 8, 64 bit, epson artisan 835 printer: prints are really dark even after using enhancements like adjusting lighting. Prints are darker than photoshop edit screen. Prints are acceptable using paint, windows photo viewer, or gallery.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • Problem with the yellow flashing light on AirPort Extreme

    I'm trying to use my AirPort Express and have a yellow flashing light. I contacted ISP and we tested the connection by plugging the modem into a PC directly, so there is a working connection. I tried the Airport utility and it identified an error, stating that no connection could be made
    I'm not sure where to go with this, my understanding is that the AirPort Express should have no trouble communicating with modems, so it can't be an issue of hardware.
    Any suggestions very welcome!

    Whenever you change whatever device is connected to your modem, be sure to power down the modem first.
    It will refuse to communicate with anything else, unless you do.

  • How to turn on Flash Light on Z10

    Is there anyway to turn on the Flash Light on BlackBerry Z10 without using any app from the AppWorld like the FlashLight and various ohter simmilar apps

    A possible combination of buttons would help. Like the one in which we press volume up and volume down button simultaneously to take a screen shot. Something like that would be helpful.
