Officejet 4630 Turns on then off again

When i turn on my printer, it seems to go through its usual startup routine. But when it gets to initializing the scanner, the carriage moves slightly and the rapidly "slams" back to it's starting position. My printer immediately powers off and the power button stops working. If I unplug the printer and then plug it back in, I can get the power button to work again, but it just repeats the process.

Hi , I see that you are experiencing issues with the printer's carriage slamming back into the starting position and then the printer turns off. I would like to help you. It sounds like a hardware issue, since the printer is slamming the carriage into the home position. I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. Please try the steps in this document to see if it will help resolve this issue. A 'Carriage Jam' Message Displays for HP Officejet 4630 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4640 e-All-in-One Printer Series. If the issue continues, please Contact HP Support for further assistance. Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number for quicker assistance. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • Z77 g45 turning on then off then on again

    OK so I was on my computer I turned it off when I went to turn it on it just goes on for like 2 seconds then off again I tested by using one ram and it still does it also I switched the psu out and it still does it is it a faulty board

    This from the z77a-g45 as you didn't specify which z77g45 mobo you have.

    There is CMOS RAM onboard that is external powered from a battery located on the
    mainboard to save system configuration data. With the CMOS RAM, the system can
    automatically boot into the operating system (OS) every time it is turned on. If you want
    to clear the system configuration, set the jumpers to clear the CMOS RAM.
    It is just above pcie_5

    This one is dead in between the two pcie slots and next to the battery.
    Short the pins while the computer is off and the power cord has been removed.

    Important
    You can clear the CMOS RAM by shorting this jumper while the system is off. Afterwards,
    open the jumper . Do not clear the CMOS RAM while the system is on because it will
    damage the mainboard.
    >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    If this doesn't work you will need to switch the ram sticks/ try them in different dimms to see if there is a change.
    Since you won't give up and additional information some other things to try:
    Remove any vga you have installed and try onboard.
    Remove the mobo from the case and build in on a uncoated piece of cardboard or other non-conductive surface to make sure there are no shorts.
    Remove any usb devices you have plugged in .
    Remove the SSD and see if you can at least get to bios.

  • After I download a 256 kbps song using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer at the higher bit rate once I turn ITunes Match off again?

    After I download a 256 kbps song from the cloud using ITunes Match, how do I get it to play on my computer once I turn ITunes Match off again? I have been using ITunes Match for awhile now to increase the bit rate on songs to 256 kbps.  Once I download the songs at the new bit rate, I turn off Match because I want to eliminate duplicates. Usually there is no problem. This time, however, 278 of my songs lost their file association and were unplayable unless I locate the song files within my computer.  These are songs purchased from Amazon.  In order to play them again in ITunes (Match is now off), I must locate each song file individually (I've tried to do it in bulk but have not succeeded) but now the bit rate has returned to the lower number BEFORE I matched the song.  I should have never used Match in the first place. Any ideas, anyone?

    I discovered that the NEW 256 bit file does reside on my computer, in the ITunes files (My Music/ITunes/ITunes Media/Music.  So I can bring the songs back as 256 kbps, and I have been successful now at locating more than one file at a time, by clicking on the "find other missing files" tab in the popup window.  Previously, I'd been going back to my Amazon files, and not only was I unable to bring back a 256 version, but the popup window would not locate similar files.  So while I wish ITunes Match would automatically associate the ITunes Match file, at least I can retrive the file association without hours and hours of work.

  • Turns on then off

    My iPod was discharged. So I charged it using a usb port. So when i connected it, it had the non animated battery with the lightening bolt. So i waited like the guide said to. Then the iPod turned on like the guide said but then it turned off. And now it turns on then turns off by itself repeatedly. Until the battery dies once again. Then the cycle continues. Can somebody please help me??
      Windows XP  

    I am also having the same problem with a relatively new ipod nano
    I have tried all the secret ipod diagnostics
    I have even booted the ipod into Disk utility (on a Mac) and erased the ipod drive to then restore the software on the ipod.
    Nothing works and if you do a search in these forums you will find a lot of chat about this same problem going back over a year.
    I will be taking mine back to Apple hope they will replace it as they had done in a previous post
    Also if you put it into one of the diagnostic modes pushing the Select button and back button the screen will stay lit and you can run all the tests. no problem
    So I assume this is possibly a software issue
    I really wish Apple would Answer this question
    What makes this worse is this was a gift to my elderly parents and they have only used a couple times.
    If you google you will find a lot more people with the same problem
    Will report back if I can get any resolution to this issue.

  • Ipod Nano 7th G turns on and off again

    Well i was just passing some information to my ipod and it was almost full then when i look up it was tuning on and off again , showing the apple logo , i did everything reset, disk mode, home boton and sleep botton then only home botton and plug it to the pc and then restore it to factory and nothing itunes tells me wait 8 seconds and anfter its over it just keeps turning on and off did this like 3 times and nothing
    and something weird itunes tells me that mi ipod has a capasity of 0 bytes  :S
    Need some help any advice?
    PS: English is not my  main  language so sorry for the grammar errors

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • DCH70 Turns on then off

    So I just got the DCH70 installed in my apartment. Everything is plugged in correctly. Power supply, cable from the wall into the in spot, from the out to TV.
    When I plug in the power cable the green light and Amber light turn on, then green turns off and a couple seconds later the amber one turns off. There is no picture on the TV and no sound. When I hit the cable on button nothing happens... I'm at a loss.

    Apologies for the issue and the experience that you described above. This issue can and should be corrected.
    In reviewing your account, there are some definite and observable signal level issues on your Motorola DCH 70 cable box that need some attention and investigation (Upstream Health - Forward is showing at 66 which is out of normal specifications). 
    This issue is likely the root cause of your video issues. 
    I have asked a colleague to review your account and reach out to you so that we can get this condition resolved. A technician visit may be required to resolve.
    Thanks for your patience.

  • New build, cpu turns on then off in 1sec

    Recently bought a Msi z68a-gd80-b3 with a i2500k. i set everything in the case and seated the cpu, heatsink, videocard and a stick of ram in the first bank closest to the cpu. when i turn on the cpu it power cycles for a second then just shuts off. it used to power cycle for a 3 seconds then shutoff then back on for 3 seconds with the led13 light solidly lit, but after taking it out of the case in order to short it out its been just turning on for 1/sec then off. i have alternated all the components displayed on the bottom.
    Mobo: msi z68q-gd80-b3
    cpu: intel i2500k
    ram: gskill 7-8-7-24 8gb 1600mhz and patroit 2x4 gb 1600 cas 8
    psu: antec quatro 850 and thermaltake tr2 750
    video card: 2x 8550 ati
    im thinking its the intel i 2500kbut not sure how to test it other then finding another one which isnt really an option, but the motherboard bios light also comes on solid?   any help is greatly appreciated. sorry im at work so i dont have the exact specifics on the ram. if you need more info please ask and i will post, thanks

    I used a flat head screw driver to complete the circuit and try to boot the system.

    maybe ill check the motherboard pins one last time but thats all i can think of.
    Wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be the problem area. Aaron's suggestion to try a single stick in dimm slot #2 is a good test.

  • How can i fix my itouch 4th gen when it turns on and off again ?

    it keeps on turning on and off.. when the apple logo appears after 10 seconds it will off and on

    You can try a reset; a restore to a backup; and then a restore to factory settings.  If that does not work, you will need to replace the screen.  To attempt to do it yourself, get instructions and link to screen purchase by Googling "replace ipod touch screen."  Note that if you are unsuccessful in the DIY, Apple will not do an out-of-warranty exchange for $99 ($199 for a 64gb, 4G) which is one of your other options.

  • Ipod continuously turns on then off and makes clicking sound

    Just today, after plugging my ipod into my computer and transferring voice memos, I unplugged my ipod and as soon as I did that, it shut down and began its continuous loop of turning on and off. It never fully boots up. Can anyone help me out with what might be going wrong

    give it a search, sometimes you have to look for a day or two, but you will find one. Also do a search on google. You can find them at parts houses like ifixipodsfast.com for 120 for a 30 and 165 for a 60 gig. But do some searches and go here for the tutorial on how to change it. It is really not that hard at all.http://www.ipodhowtovideo.com/video/
    I have had my video apart twice and two of my friends for screen and battery replacement. I have had the hard drives out and can testify that it is really not that hard. Just be careful with the ribbon cables.

    Sometimes when I turn my computer on it turns off then it turns on.  I have not had any other problems with this and there is no error in the debug.  My friends Maximus 775 board used to do this a lot to.  Is this an intel thing?

    Interesting.  I know about the GD-70 that's for am3 but wasnt aware of another gd-80 for p55.  I know there is the trinergy but hasn't been released yet. Is there a gd80 for 1366?  Anyway I have the latest bios revision but I'll try putting down to stock today and clear and test it some more.
    edit:  looks like its a p55 issue

    evga users have noted this.
    Pretty much covers all bases if you skim all of it. Makes sense from a support perspective. But can get annoying. I think EVGA is thinking it over carefully since there could be unforseen implications in allowing the average user to have control over this.

    See my thread here about gd65: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133310.0
    upon calling c/s & futher research, this phenomenon seems to be labeled "fake boot" or "double boot".
    (msi blames this on the p55 chipset & non-stock memory timings) apparently this is normal behavior (somewhat), though in reading more forums, there is some speculation that under certain circumstances this should NOT happen. resetting bios, and tinkering here & there should "fix" the condition. I don't like tinkering around so much with resetting my system 100x, as I have an old 450watt psu, so I'd like to keep it around for a few years, as opposed to tracking down a possible solution only to have to invest in a new psu prematurely or worse dealing with an rma. maybe one day I'll write up a list of things I've tried & one time or another & see If it will go away.
    Your situation may be exacerbated by the fact your system is underpowered. See my post in your thread..
