Pixma pro 100 will not power up

My Pixma pro100 is 13 months old and suddenly will not power up. There are no unusual circumstances. Push the power button, & nothing!!! I've seen others that removed the power supply and re-installed as a fix, but that did nothing. Any other suggestions out there? The prints are absolutely beautiful, but to last only 13 months of light use is unacceptable. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, thanks!!

Thanks Patrick!   Initial Call to Support (Sunday June 21, 2015) I initially called Technical Support on a weekend (Sunday 6/21/2015) and the technician logged onto my PC remotely, dug into system logs, and told me the problem was with my PC.  His diagnosis and matter-of-fact attitude was the issue was with my PC and that my only recourse was to replace the printer.  I kept telling him that the printer would not power on, even after changing the power cable with my other Canon printer, but he stuck to his diagnosis,  the issue was with my desktop.  I told him i had only used the printer occasionally printed about 30 13 x 9 prints but I had never had any issues. Fast forward to this week (Thursday July 23, 2015) I called during the M-F normal support hours, got a US based person who was the greatest and told me they would replace the printer even though it was out of warranty by about 3 months, it was still within the grace period.  She has restored my faith in Canon Support and I learned an extremely important and valuable lesson;  call during normal business hours and receive a US-based support person! Thanks Canon and kudos to my USA based support person this week!

  • Mac Pro (2006) will not power on

    We've got a 2006 Mac Pro in our lab that had been running perfectly well until this week.  We shut down all of the lab computers on Fridays and restart them when we come in on Monday.  When I pressed the power button to start the Mac Pro two days ago, nothing happened, no fans, no click, and no chime.
    Mac Pro w/dual-core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz, OS X 10.7.5
    What I've looked at so far:
    Unplugged everything from the Mac except the monitor, keyboard and mouse
    Checked that the power cord was properly inserted into the Mac and the wall outlet
    Checked that the outlet was getting power by plugging another device into it
    Checked for a flashing power button light - not flashing or lit
    Reseated all RAM modules
    Checked diagnostic LED lights - none of the lights were illuminated and none illuminated while pressing the DIAG_LED button
    Verified that we haven't installed/reconfigured any new hardware or software - we have not, since early 2014
    I'm thinking that it must be the power supply but wanted to see if there were any other ideas.
    Thanks

    The solution for debugging from "dead" is to remove absolutely everything: all drives, all PCIe cards, all RAM, all peripherals. The thought is that something may be dragging down the power.
    A thorough SMC reset can be performed on all MacPro models by removing the AC power cord, pressing the power-on button for a quarter minute to completely discharge the power capacitors, re-installing the AC power cord, waiting a quarter minute, then pressing the power-on button. [It resets automatically after the DC power has gone completely to Zero, then returned to normal levels.]
    With NO RAM DIMMs installed, the computer should power up the fans and blink the Power-on light under Processor control. If it does, the Processor and ROM and Busses are working, and adding back RAM should produce a Chime.
    One other item that sometimes precludes booting is a dead PRAM Backup battery (coin cell). It sits in a delicate holder behind the graphics card slot. A new battery measure a bit over 3 Volts, measured in hand or in-circuit with the AC power cord removed. If you measure in-circuit with the AC power cord connected, you are measuring the "always-on" backup power supply, not the battery itself.

  • Pixma Pro 100 low ink warning

    Does the Pixma Pro 100 auto stop when insufficient ink is available to print properly or is the 'low ink' warning all you get until the it doesn't print correctly?

    Hi mrjcall,
    The PIXMA PRO-100 will warn you when the ink is "low" and stop printing when the ink is "out".  Keep in mind that when the low warning appears, you have about 25% of the ink left in your ink tank.

  • Macbook Pro will not power on without battery installed

    Hi there,
    I have a Macbook Pro A1226 that fails to power on without a battery installed.
    i.e. will not run off AC power on its own. I have tried 2 other power adapters, no change. All 3 adapters are outputting the correct voltage without fluctuations.
    But, if I am in OSX with a battery plugged in, shutdown the laptop, remove the battery while AC is still plugged in, it will power back on without any issues. But as soon as I remove the battery, it will not power back on using just AC.
    Is this an I/O board issue, or a mainboard?
    I have power drained the unit and reset the parameter ram.
    Thanks

    Any update on this? This is the same thing that's going on with my laptop right now. I was at the Genius Bar and they said they can send it in for repair. Takes 7-9 days and costs a minimum of $310. At the time I was there, my computer wouldn't start up at all, because the battery had drained to less than 20%. It didn't even start with just the power cord (no battery in). The "genius" finally got it to work by doing a PRAM and SMC reset. Got home and was able to recharge my battery to 100%. Used my computer for 2 days before I dared to take it off the power supply. Lo and behold, as soon as I take it off the power cord, then re-connect it, it shows "Not Charging". I tried to do SMC again, but no luck. Keeps saying "not charging". Even tried with a brand new battery. Do I have to get the I/O board thingy replaced?

  • I purchased a Pixma Pro-100. My prints do not reflect the edited images from CS6/LR5.

    I just got a Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer. I'm running CS6 and LR5. My monitors are calibrated, my color space is Adobe RGB (1998). I want the Photoshop /LR to manage my color. I (believe) am using the correct profile for the Canon paper (Pro Luster). However, my prints do not reflect the edited versions I am viewing on my monitors. The colors are darker, dull, a bit on the reddish side, and not as vivid as what I am expecting. Is there anyone out there who can guide me to the proper way to set the up my printer and color space? I this is very confusing to me.

    You don't need any additional gadgets to set up your monitor(s) and the printer.  Mostly you will just frustrate yourself and waste a lot of ink and paper.  Stop wasting your time with them, too.
    You do need to get three things set carefully.  You need the brightness, the contrast and the grey-scale set right for the printer.
    Big point to remember you are dealing with two completely different types of color.  One is light and the other is dyes.  They will never match exactly except for maybe one or two colors at a time.  I generally shoot for flesh tones as that is what people notice mostly.
    Always check the details and never let the printer do any color managing.  All Canon printers I have worked with have a reddish bias.  You can not or at least it is very difficult to get rid of it.  Canon engineers seem to prefer a warm tone in their printers.
    I curently use three of the Canon Pro printers form the 9000, 9500 II amd the 100.  All are great printers.  But right now what you are seeing and what you are sending to the printer is different.  These need to match or you need to know what to adjust in PS to make them match.  Don't use LR to print, it isn't as good as PS and it will be different.  If you must, stick to either/or but not both.   I prefer PS.
    Always shoot RAW and use ACR to convert in either LR or PS but I always print from PS.
    Let me know how you get along.

    This didn't work for me, so I did a bit of searching and TONS of pages later in google, I found an answer. Here are the steps for people who also were in my situation:
    1. Take off bottom case
    2. Unplug battery - blurry image here: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/03cC79r5Dx4/0.jpg
    3. Press and hold power button for 5 seconds
    4. Plug a charger in, and it should start booting up
    5. After shutting down again, reconnect the battery and close the case up
    6. It works! (hopefully, if you guys had the same situation I did)

  • Sleep light is on but MacBook pro will not power up

    Sleep light is on but MacBook pro will not power up

    Hi a,
    If the sleep light is already on when you try to start up, that means the MBP isn't shut down, so cannot start up. Hold down the power button for 5-10 seconds to shut it down, then try starting up.

  • My MacBook Pro shut it self down and will not power up

    It shut itself down and will not power up. Battery was charged

    I have (had) a brand new late2013 13" MacBook Pro that my wife and I really splurged on. It had the 512 gb (over 500, I know that) SSD hard drive, improved processor, and chose to stick with 8 gb of ram. In other words, we dropped close to $2000 on that notebook.
    Within a week, it started doing what you are explaining. In fact, during one of the forced shutdowns, I was prompted to send an error message to apple. My wife wanted nothing to do with it, but I chose to anyway. Thankfully I did. When I couldn't take the frustrating shutdowns anymore I took it to the apple store.
    AWESOME PEOPLE!!!! Granted I have been a PC guy my whole life. That started to change with my first really thick iPod in 2002. Slowly, the iPad and Apple TV made appearances in my house. My wife (an artist) then came in the picture and I am now and have been an apple guy, w/o the window sticker of course. My interaction with the apple store workers only increased my stoke.
    SEND ERROR MESSAGES TO APPLE IF PROMPTED TO DO SO.
    As I said, I went against wife and sent one to apple. The apple tech was able to figure out what was wrong immediately considering a copy was kept on my MBP, and because it was day 30 (really was) since purchase, he switched out with BRAND NEW UNIT! No refurb, no hassle!
    All was fine until it did it again. Basically, if my computer sat on but was idle, it would go to sleep as we had instructed it to do in the energy savings preference page. Normally, to reawaken MBP, all we needed to do was tap space bar.
    Like the first one we traded in, no luck. We would actually have to try and power up with power button, and even the apple techs found it frustrating as we had. Thankfully it did it in front of them as well.
    Now is the kicker. Our contact felt incredibly bad, along with store manager, that this was now the third visit we have had to make involving a brand new computer. The manager wanted to make it up to us. I feel like her solution went so far beyond my expectations, I will never own another brand again.
    She took all of our merchandise we bought for the 13" MBP, (bag, 12 south vertical stand, etc) and let us pick what ever replacements we wanted for the 15" MBP she was giving us. YEP, A 15"!
    due to the fact that we specifically purchased the larger SSD in the 13", the entry level 15" did not offer the larger SSD drive. That saint of a manager moved us into the quad core, I7 with 16gb of ram!!! The only stipulation is that we pay for the apple care. When I thought it was truly over, she had one last surprise and charged only the difference between the apple care prices.
    Good things happen to everyone else, always. Happy to report I finally had my turn.
    I am not saying you will make out as well as I did, but if it is shutting down, especially in the first 30 days of ownership, send every report to apple it asks you to (for ease of retrieval by Mac employee) and trust they will do right by you. New computers should not shutoff for no reason, and the great thing is, they agree!
    Considering my initial purchase for my 13" MBP came to around (off my head $1850 with apple care).
    I now own the very high end $2599.00 15" because the SSD hd was comparable to mine.
    I can't stress this part enough. I NEVER ONCE RAISED MY VOICE! I was a little upset but never complained once. I was completely understanding and never asked for anything above getting the first computer I paid for to work properly.
    THANK YOU APPLE!!!!!THANK YOU APPLE!!!!! THANK YOU APPLE!!!!!
    Bring your faulty computer in, send all error messages to apple, and most importantly remember that the young 22yr old standing in front of you there didn't build it. It's not his fault. Work with him with respect and apples philosophy will shine brightly.
    FWIW, all of the service techs I spoke with at the Genius Bar are very aware of this situation and all feel an update is headed down the pipeline soon.
    Good luck all!

  • PIXMA Pro-100 and Windows 8.1 Help Please....

    Hello,
    I will try to be concise
    Spent all day on the phone for this without the same answer twice *sigh*.
    I have been told and I have read over and over that YES, the Pro-100 WILL absolutely work with Windows 8.1.
    Then...I find out that it's possible that it will NOT work unless I have 8.1 Pro Pack.
    Is this true?
    IOW...Is there anyone using the PIXMA Pro-100 with Windows 8.1 *without *Pro Pack just fine?
    I ordered the printer yesterday before being told about this, and need to know if I have to cancel my order before it ships.
    Thank you very much for any and all help.

    Solved!

    Sherri,
    I have been using the Pro-100 along with three of the printers it has replaced, the 9000, 9500 and 9500 II since Win 8.1 came out.  They all work and work well with WIndoze 8 or 8.1.  I use Photoshop and Lightroom so the OS really doesn't matter.  If you do not have either of these, I will suggest you check into Photoshop Elements as an option.
    With one of these mentioned programs you do not need any thing additional.  Including the Canon software that comes with the Pro-100.  But a couple of Canon's software is pretty good like the printing on a DVD.  But PS, or PSE, is where it at for photos that are possibile by the Pro-100.
