My HP K90 just died, the power's getting to it but it does not turn

Perhaps you could explain more about how you know for sure that power
is getting to the printer. Is that because the outlet appears to have
power and the ON/OFF switch doesn't power it on? Wiggle the cord ends
and all that regular stuff. Go to the property sheet on the printer in
the advanced section. Many of the HP printers have a setting that
allows you to power the printer on automatically when print document
is selected for printing. Try to print something using that method. If
that doesn't work you may be in for an internal repair, perhaps a
fuse. Google some of the recent posts on this same subject.

Hi

The light is on, in the power plug that fits into the back of the
machine.

So I know that the power's getting to it...



Thanks

Unless you are lucky and there is a loose cable inside the printer then I
suspect there is a serious internal electronic failure. Either the internal
power supply or the main board.

Then, as said earlier, try turning it on with the software. If that
fails, you need a repair. What you do beyond that depends on your
ability.
