If you would have to have a repair shop do the work I'm certain you'd be wiser to take the printer to the electronics recycler and dispose of it. However, you're probably looking at 100 to maybe 150 (or more) dollars for the two circuit boards and so you have to decide whether it makes sense to repair it.
If you are willing and able to tear apart the printer and do the work yourself you can find (again through searches) replacements for the two main boards in the printer, and they would not be difficult to replace once you figure out the magic of taking the printer apart. Your printer like mine clearly has a circuit board failure. There are a few things that might revive it like making sure the fuser temperature safety hasn't been thrown (do an Internet search on this I did that but it didn't help me). It's an old printer (from 2011 or 2012) but it was working fine before I moved so I'm wondering what else I can try.I have the same printer and it turns on, but nothing beyond that and it can only be turned off by unplugging (as with the OP). I have both Ubuntu and Windows 10 on my computer but since the printer won’t turn on neither of them really “see” it. Using a cable to connect it to my computer and trying to print somethingīasically nothing I can do makes the printer seem to be "awake" although the light flashing when I hold down the power button suggest that power does flow into the printer. Unplugging for a long time (days) and trying again
I don't see this specific situation (orange light only when holding power button) described anywhere.Ĭhecking for paper jams (there is absolutely no paper in there) It keeps flashing as long as I hold down the power button but as soon as I stop pressing, the light stops. When I press the power button, an orange light flashes. I moved recently and when I plugged in my printer (Samsung ML-1865W) again to set it up it wasn't working.
