Power Surge Nuked Fax part of multi-func​tion printer

HP 1319f MFP with fax.
The Fax was working well until a Power Surge on the DSL/Fax line fried a relay outside and now the fax does not work. The line has no dial tone when the Printer/fax is connected, but the fax does try to dial out: "No response" it says, then the phone line is dead. 
HP says the warranty does not cover this. Can I just replace a motherboard or something easy like that or do I need to take it to an HP authorized repair shop???

  • Won't let me copy to hard drive post power surge

    Ok, to make a long story short, I hope, I had an electrical fire (everyone's ok) that involved and destroyed my laptop's power cord and as part of that fun I seem to have had a power surge that has reset some of the defaults on my computer but not all. Some of the folders I created prior to the surge are gone, etc. The only real problem is that the permissions on my internal hard drive seem to have been reset. Below are the things it will and will not allow me to do.
    -- I cannot copy files from a flash drive, cd or external hard drive to the internal hard drive. I get that circle with a line through it. Clicking and dragging, copy/paste, nothing works.
    -- I can move stuff that is already on the internal hard drive from folder to folder.
    -- I can save email attachments to the internal hard drive.
    -- I can copy stuff from internal the hard drive to a flash drive, cd or external hard drive.
    -- I can read the files on flash drives, cds or external hard drives, such as a movie file, just fine, they run without a glitch. The peripherals did not suffer any resets as a result of the fire/power surge. When it happened the computer shut down automatically and I think that saved the accessories from being damaged because the computer is the only thing that showed any changes after it happened.
    And before someone asks, yes, I checked, I have 40 GB of HD space so it's not a space issue.
    I right clicked on MAC HD and did the Get Info and looked at the details of the permissions on various files and tried shifting some of those around but even though it says Read and Write it still won't let me copy to the internal drive from other sources. Interestingly when I got to the User file it was marked Read Only but changing it to Read Write didn't help. Something I did once worked but then it stopped working so I have no idea what it was. I put everything back the way it was. Could somebody please help me? My computer is old and dieing a slow painful death but if I can make it last a little longer that will make my life so much easier. Please let me know if you need any system info or anything.
    *Thank you!!*
    PS. I'm not posting this on the peripheral thread because the problem isn't really the peripherals, it's the system not wanting to play nice with others, so that's why I put this over here.

    Hi. It's not a dumb question, cause if it is then my answer is really stupid, what's a repair permission? lol I don't know what that is so I guess the answer is no, though I can guess from the name it's a program to fix permissions if the files get messed up? I knew how to change the permissions in Get Info but past that I was getting into things I don't know so I figured it was time to ask for help or I'd be on here asking how to un-erase a hard drive. jk So how would I do that and is there anything else I should do?
    Sorry if my initial post was a bit defensive. I had a moderator give me flak over some minor thing on a post once and I was supremely frustrated with this problem. Sorry if it came out kinda angry. I appreciate any help you can give me.

  • In the process of saving a file a power surge rebooted computer. Any chance of recovering file?

    In the process of saving a file a power surge rebooted computer. Any chance of recovering file?

    Have a look at the sample script below. The "while" loop waits for the specified number of milliseconds, then reads the contents of a directory and processes every individual file in the directory. In my example, it just prints the file path to the console. You would replace this part with your Open / Save as / Move sequence.
    For more file system commands, refer to Adobe's Javascript Tools Guide, "File object functions".
    var stop = false;
    while( stop==false ) {
        // Wait for 20.000 ms
        $.sleep(20000);
        var fld = new Folder("c:/incoming");
        var filesInFld = fld.getFiles("*.fm");
        for(var f=0; f < filesInFld.length; f++) {
            // process the individual file
            $.writeln(filesInFld[f]);
        // Exit the  loop after 19:00
        var time = new Date();
        if( time.getHours() > 19 ) stop = true;

  • Power surge fried inputs on 55" LG LCD TV

    TV was bought from BB, but out of warranty (no extended).  It's about 2 years old.  The TV turns on, but none of the inputs work.  A surge went through my PC hooked up to the TV via HDMI...literally fried the HDMI cable into the port to where I almost couldn't remove it.
    What are my options?  Are these input boards cheap enough to where repair is viable or am I better off just getting a new TV?

    I doubt anyone would buy parts from a TV that has been affected by a power surge.
    Bet the cost of a surge protector doesn't seem so bad now?
    Sorry your TV got burnt.  Buy a surge prottector for the next one, and don't buy the cheapest surge protector you can find...

  • Secondary Socket Fried by Power Surge/Cut?

    Hope someone may be able to help me on this one. Wednesday night had a power surge/short power cut here and discovered my second socket was dead. Thought this would fix itself but have found today that the socket is still dead.
    Wouldn't normally be bothered but my Sky box is wired into this socket and obviously this is soon going to cause me problems as it's part of my contract to have the box connected to a telephone line (don't use the socket for anything other than Sky and an old telephone for contacting the electric board when we have power cuts - have at least one a month here - oh the irony!).
    Could this power surge (lights brightened and flickered before the power cut) have caused the damage to the socket? Has anyone had this problem before and been able to get the electric board to cough up if the surge is what has caused this damage?
    Would appreciate any help as am sure Sky will be contacting me soon to query the missing telephone line connection.
    Many thanks to the guys out there!

    I thought this was supposed to be a forum for people helping each other out with valid and useful advice - not being facetious and puerile. I can only wish on you the electrical outcomes I have had to suffer in the past here - I have claimed against the electrical board in the past but was hoping for sensible advice on this particular occasion. My experience with the electricity board in the past has been less than helpful if not down right evasive and lengthy. I was hoping to get advice from someone who has been in this position before so that I can make a decision based on fact not speculation!
    If you have nothing useful to say, don't say it! Your tag says no to nuisance calls - suggest you try to stop being one yourself!!

    Actually I thought it was good advice, Put In a Claim, it wont cost you anything.
    As regards my as you say TAG, it's not its a sig, and may I say you should also stop being your SIG as well.
    Just added you to my Block list, no point in trying to help you.

  • Has there been trouble with the charger.  I am getting to re-order but the one i had the had the power surge and the end was blackened.  Not sure if it safe to use the laptop again?

    Has there been any trouble with the charger?  I am getting ready to re-order but the one i had.... the had the power surge and the end was blackened.  Not sure if it safe to use the laptop again?  Thanks.

    Can you also see blackening in the power jack on the PowerBook? If so, I would be worried that the surge also damaged the computer/
    Does the computer run OK on just the battery? If it is working on battery power, that limits the number of things inside the computer that could have been fried.
    If the computer is severely damaged by the surge, it's not worth repairing. However, a couple of posters in Apple forums said their homeowners'/renters' insurance paid them replacement value of their computer after power surge damage due to known problems on the grid, like the huge power outage that hit the SW Untied Stats and part of Mexico yesterday.

  • Power Surge on the USB Port.

    Well, for the first time ever in my 2 years of having this IPOD plug for my 5th Gen...I wanted to upload some pics on my ipod, but i plugged the port into the computer and the other part into my ipod, and it said my port had a power surge of some sort. So i can't charge my ipod via computer, but it works in my ipod player (which is my deck that i have in my bedroom to play music through speakers) and it works...And other USB items (i.e webcam) work in any port...So its seems its just the plug.
    It all of a sudden worked when i just plugged it in as i wrote this to be sure what it said, but does anyone know why this happened?

    When you say "port" do you mean the iPod cable that has a dock connector on one end and a USB connector on the other end? When you have your iPod connected to your iPod player does the player have a dock connector on it such that the iPod plugs directly into the player? If the answer to both of these questions is yes then I would suspect that the iPod cable is bad or on its way out. Another test of the cable would be to connect it to an iPod power adapter that plugs into the wall and see if the iPod charges.
    The other possibility is that there are other USB devices connected to your computer and when the iPod is connected the USB ports on the computer are unable to supply sufficient power to all of those devices.

  • I'm wondering about the effects of power surges on a MacBook

    I'm getting a new camp, and I want to bring my laptop to it. Unfortunately it probably has power surges on a regular basis, and I would like to know if that will affect it.

    Power surges aren't good for any computer. You should make sure you've plugged it in to a good surge suppressor. It would probably be wise to have a spare power cable as well, as the only part I've ever lost in the power system of any Mac laptop has been the power cable... I've had a couple of the bricks on the ends get fried, but was lucky enough that the computer was just fine.

  • Airport express power surge

    I have an airport express connected to my Internet and after getting hit with a storm and possibly a power surge my AIrport express just flickers an amber light and I've tried unplugging and holding the little reset pin on the back but it didn't help and I've tried scanning for my airport express but comes up unsuccessful any ideas on how to fix or is it possible to replace parts or is this just a junked item now?

    It is junk.. if you have a low excess on your house insurance it might cover it.. otherwise it is damaged beyond repair.. as a repairer.. even if we fix stuff that has got hit by lightening.. there is no warranty.. all the internal parts will have been stressed far beyond their ratings.. you fix the main part and another can fail in a week. For an item that costs $100.. there is no point in even thinking about it.

  • Power Surge On hub Port :(

    when i plug my usb cord in. it says Power Surge On Hub Port, can anyone tell me how to solve this problem. it wont allow me to charge or put songs on my iPod. Help is greatly appreciated.

    I have the same Multi-Burner drive, an X61s, and an X61. I don't get this message on any USB port. I also tried plugging it in with an audio CD already inserted so that it would draw power spinning up the disc right away.
    Is it possible that you have other power-using USB devices plugged in, and the Multi-Burner just happens to be the last one plugged in, pushing the power use over it's limit?
    If you get this message when the Multi-Burner is the only USB device plugged in, I think you have a hardware problem.
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • Computer zapped by power surge caused by lightning

    My computer was zapped by a power surge caused by lightning, with my iTouch connected. I just got a new computer and installed iTunes. When I plug in my iTouch, nothing happens. No beeps, no lights, no battery indicator...nothing.
    I've tried it on another computer. Same thing happens...nothing.
    The iTouch seems to work ok with the content (movies and music) that is already on it, but I cannot get it to communicate with any computer.
    Could this surge have damaged just this one part of the iTouch?

    It strikes me as odd that the iPod still works but does not synchronise. I would have thought that with the nature of electronics today, that if a strike had affected it, then none of it would work -- guesswork of course. However, the cable does have those connectors at each end and one of those might have taken the force of the strike and thus saved the iPod from damage. Cheaper than a new iPod for sure if it is this.

  • Iphone and power surge?

    I frequently plug my iphone in at night to charge while I sleep. The other night we had a thunderstorm, which is frequent in my parts, and I woke up in a panic to unplug my phone in case the power went out, or worse flickered and caused a power surge.
    It didn't happen (thankfully) but it got me thinking...should the iphone when plugged directly into A/C power source be plugged into a surge protector? May seem obvious, since anything electrical can be damaged by surges, just wondering if iphone has any kind of internal protection. I don't know many people who plug their cell phones into a surge protector, I never did, but I never cared until I got my iphone

    It is a good practice to have you phone behind a surge surpressor. I test product every day for surge per the CE requirements and work for Ericsson, so I have seen first hand what can happen. Just putting on your PC is better but the energy still gets on the computer.

  • IPOD Shuffle not recognized by computer, and caused a  USB power surge

    Device is not recognized by computer, and I tried the listed support recommendations.
    The problem originated when I plugged the IPOD shuffle directly into the computer USB ( not using a hub), and this caused a warning window to appear saying unknown device has caused a power surge to this port, and most be removed. Prior to this event, the IPOD shuffle has worked (with direct contact with computer usb or through a powered highspeed usb hub) without issue for nearly 1 year. Any taker's on this issue? Thanks.

    Hi JBR,
    Go to your control panel and click on Install/Uninstall programs. Scroll down and see if you have multiple versions of the ipod updater installed on your computer. If you do, then uninstall both versions. Reboot your computer.
    Next, go to the downloads page and download/install the 1-10-2006 ipod updater. Once installed, go to your start programs and select ipod updater from there. Plug in your ipod and wait a moment. If it's like mine, it'll recognize your ipod and then you can do a "restore" for a clean format.
    After that, open itunes and life should be good.
    Hope this helps!
