to anyone that might have mercy on a guy that just needs to get back to printing,
...
putting on some new heads on my fj and...
first off i noticed that a few of my inks were low so i went about filling up the low cartridges. my daughter was heading off to bed so i got distracted during. when you take a cartridge out of my printer, the machine goes "beep-beep" counts to about tens seconds... "beep beep" and the screen notifies of the missing cartridge. when i got back to the machine about ten minutes later the beeping had quit. i figured it had in the firmware to stop doing the alert. when i got my cartridges back in the machine i hit "set up" to wake it up... and nothing (the fan is running but the screen is blank... as it is when it goes to sleep". i couldn't wake it up. so i decided to turn it off. nothing... the fan is still running. so i switch it off from the back. then a few seconds later switch it back on from the back. but now nothing. no fan.... nothing. i leave it for a few minutes. take off the back plate and remove/replace the battery, waiting for a few seconds. nothing; when i hit the switch on the back and put my ear up to it i hear a faint "tic" noise after i turn it on. i then removed the lower back cover and see that the power supply is under the platen. but don't know how to test it.
...any suggestions? this has been a very strange week for a printer that has never had me guessing. just the routine maintenance has done the job.
really appreciate any help given!
