Problem getting computer to turn on

I would suspect that there is something along the track that's blocking the printhead carrier from moving left. Do a visual inspection of the entire track area. Try ((very carefully - do not force)) moving the carrier by hand and check for a blockage.
If you don't find anything, try unplugging for a few minutes and then try again (powerline glitch?).

hi, okay you got to be careful here, it's sounds like the power supply has called it a day, disconnect from the mains take the side panel off and get sniffling can you smell a burn smell , no , now pull the power leads from the hard disk and DVD drive if fitted now removing anything that could cause a short on the board , turn it on, do you get video display ?


Please be careful of static shock and mains shock so only look inside once it disconnected from the mains.
Keep me updated please.


Regards

Go to Control Panel, (top right View Small Icons). Then look for Power Options. On this page, you'll have the option to leave the monitor on. You should also check "Advanced Power Options". Don't be afraid of the word, "Advanced." It only means "customizeable"

If your mouse isn't waking your monitor, try the keyboard's space bar. I found it works better than the mouse at waking a sleeping computer

It may be that the cord you have plugged into the tower either a.) doesn't like the plug in or b.) your going to need to adjust power and voltage settings to the monitor

hello,please rate me as in 1 to 4 thumbs up for my answer.im disabled myself & have a scooter.Im sure this Document will give ya all the info you need,download:troubleshooting_2007 SHOPRIDER.pdf

If that doesn't work and it's not under warranty a baseball bat will relieve some stress at least.

The monitor is probably on protection.

To start unplug monitor from power and from computer and test computer with different monitor to find out if it is monitor or computer fault.

If it is computer fault and no video signal , then test:

• Video cable.
• Video adapter on PC (sometimes integrated on motherboard)
• Motherboard.

If it is monitor fault , then the monitor is on protection.

When on protection you keep having a flashing led on front of the monitor , and monitor turning off by itself after a while, that indicates a fault condition.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the Monitor goes on protection there are only two possible causes.

1The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or a broken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , starting the flashing light.


If you are in situation one, then the monitor will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

Common faults that can occurr are a blown capacitor on power board, faulty inverter board, faulty input board, or a fault on LCD Digital Controller board.

Check also the video cable or any external connection cable, if the cable is shorting, or the connector is bad, you can get same flashing statebecause of the video cable.

Try moving the video cable, and if the cable is not built in, then also try a replacement cable.

If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

open flap to access cartridges hold down power button untill cartridges move to centre remove and reinstall cartridges set them as new in the pop up box window and print a test page worked 4 me,i had a continuous flashing green light

You should install driver first, then connect printer when prompted, then install inks, as it needs the driver to tell it there are full inks fitted, refer to the manual.
