HP LaserJet 2605dn display is blank and will no longer print

I have had this printer for several years and has always worked flawlessly, until just recently. I encountered a severe jam and still had 40+ pages in the buffer that could not easily be recreated, so i decided to leave the computer on while removing the jammed pages (2), and the printer continued and finished printing the job. In order to get to the jammed pages, i had to remove the top portion of the printer. I don't remember if the display went off immediately, or not, but there is NO DISPLAY on the printer now.   Also, soon after this jam, the printer has stopped printing. 
I am running Vista. I turned the printer off, unplugged it, unplugged the USB, restarted the computer, reconnected everything, and still no display or printing. I deleted the printer and re-added it, but still no.
Did i mess something up when i removed the top of the printer? 
Any suggestions? Thanks!

oh, my! That was so long ago. But, if i recall correctly, when i pulled off the top of the printer, there was a very small wire with a plastic connector on the end that had pulled appart when i removed the top. I probably had to use tweezers in order to reconnect it.  sorry for the foggy details, but that is what resides upstairs these days! good luck.

  • When I resume my laptop from sleep/hiberante, firefox is hung. It will prompt me with a dialog when I quit, so it is still running, but the page display is blank and will not refresh. I noticed this since about beta 7

    Firefox is running when my laptop comes out of system standby, but the page that was displaying when the laptop went into sleep mode is now a white canvas that does not refresh.
    The application is not hung, because I get prompted to save tabs when I quit, but for some reason, I can't prompt Firefox into refreshing the screen.
    I'm running Firefox on a Thinkpad T400 which has Intel 4 series Express integrated Graphics.

    This also happened if the network adapter is disabled then enabled. My computer is Windows 7 x64. Firefox needs to be killed from taskman before it will load a new instance of the application. I can also reproduce with all add-ons disabled.

  • Ipod nano 5th gen - works fine when plugged in either to wall or computer and appears to be fully charged but as soon as it is unplugged screen goes blank and will not start - is the battery shot?

    Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement.  Not much else for troubleshooting here.  Sorry.

  • Right after starting up display goes blank and shuts down?

    Right after starting up display goes blank and shuts down?
    Any ideas I can't get it started. Thought I would ask for help before making a genius appt.

    Thanks that was very helpful info. I was able to boot into the recovery disk partition and run some basic HD tests and it found no issues.  Then I booted into the hardware test and it found no issues. After these tests it still failed to boot into Mavericks. I'm guessing its a software issue and I can not find the original computer disk. I have a time machine backup from 2 months ago and I could use the disk utility on the recovery sector to launch it but I want to wait and see if I can boot from a software DVD first. If I can repair the current OS that is my best option.
    Thanks.

  • My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.

    My Ipad Mini with retina display has crashed and will not restart.Only the white screen with the apple logo will appear. This comes and goes randomly. I've tried resetting by holding the front and top buttons. I've also tried resetting using itunes. Neither had any effect, The Ipad was a christmas present and only worked for several hours, the apple store can not look at it for another week. Is this a common occurance? I thought apple products were expensive because they never had problems.

    Call Apple and explain as it is new. They will go over things to try and fix over the iPad over the phone. If they need to fix it they should send you a new one and you put the old one in thePrepaid return box they send you and send back the defective iPad for no cost. This is what they did with my first iPad 1st gen. I had. Unless they changed their policy you will get the box within a day or two and have your replacement for it the same day.
    I hope how they helped me is the same for you.  Good luck.

    screen went white, then turned blank and will not respond to the buttons i touch. it is also able to open up now somehow, so i can see the inside

    Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Improperly disconnected ipod nano now screen is blank, and will not shut off.

    I accidently unplugged iPod Nano (second generation) improperly; now the screen is blank and will not shut down.

    Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, first make sure the hold switch has not been activated, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may take a couple of tries.
    Otherwise, wait for the iPod's battery to fully drain. Then connect it to a power source charge up as normal. It might be necessary to restore the Nano via iTunes after that as there may be corrupt files still leftover from improperly ejecting the iPod.

  • HT201412 My ipad went blank and will not restart

    My ipad went blank and will not restart.  What can I do?

    Could be the battery is completely drained?
    Use the charger that came with the iPad. Plug the charger into a known good wall outlet and connect your iPad. Let it charge for at least an hour. Then, while still connected to the charger, reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad starts, fine. Let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If it does not charge make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Video's removed from iPhone and will no longer Sync

    I have recently purchased an iPhone 3G and have been setting it up over the last few days.
    I eventually discovered that I can convert videos from my old phone to .mp4 format, added them to iTunes and sync'd with teh iPhone and was able to view them on my iPhone with full sound and colour, all good...
    However I have just tried adding some more and found that all the video's i had previously sync'd have dissappeared from my iPhone, and iTunes will no longer allow me to sync them back to the phone.
    I do not get an error message, and it appears when i drag and drop the files to the attached device, that it is ok, and then nothing happens.
    Can anyone tell me why these video's will no longer appear on my iPhone.

    Not really very helpful, was looking for some hint and tips to get round something of that nature, if indeed it is...
    However, as i stated before, the video's were transfered before, and worked, and then removed and will no longer transfer?

  • ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

    iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

    If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
    Go to
    Settings
    Main, contacts etc.
    scroll down to "Contacts"
    under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
    You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
    This solution worked for me!
