I can't believe that someone is still using one of the first LaserJet printers I got certified on!!! If you really want to gut the machine, there is a fuse in the power supply that could have blown. It is also possible that the power supply has finally died on its own after all of these years. You may just want to check the output voltages first to make sure of the status. If some voltages are present and not others, the fuse is still good, but the output circuitry is shot, in which case you would need to get a replacement power supply (if they are even available anymore).

Be careful with the disassembly process. The plastic clips may be brittle after almost 2 decades and could easily snap apart.

Why is our Logik Lindhob10 not switching on?

Have you tested the fuses with a multimeter? Sometimes they look ok when they,re not. Using the multimeter trace the wiring till you find where it stops, it may be a fusible link that's encased in a fibreglass sheath. Good luck and be very careful when it's live.

Won't start

Check the fuel injectors, with the key on one side of the two wire connector will have battery voltage, if none is present then check the ECM fuses in the underhood fuel box.

I just got a new computer, tried to add my old trusty LaserJetIIIP, but isn't on the list of printer models. Any ideas?

Your printer may be "trusty", but the real operative here is OLD.
The IIIp was introduced in 1991, that makes it almost 20 years old.
It isn't supported anymore. If your new computer is running Win7, you might
want to try the 'universal print drivers'. Just plug the printer in and see if
the OS picks it up.
If it doesn't, you are going to have to retire the beast.

Go to HP.Com and download their problem solving applications. You may need the current HP device drivers and that should fix you up.

Won't switch on.

Your expert reckoned it was definitely the mains cable, but in fact I bought a new one, still no luck, and the machine has definitely died it final death. I am buying a new A3 printer (some expense!).
Thanks anyway.
