HP Designjet 130 not initializing...

Hi I have a dj 130 printer that gets stuck in the initializing screen. All that is shown when starting up the printer is the hourglass icon and then nothing else happens. When you press the power button the display backlight goes on for a few seconds and then shuts down again. And the Orange warning led flashes. There's also no movement from any of the parts in the printer other than the PSU fan. I have replaced the power supply and also the electronics module as the printer had some problems beforehand and didn't power up. I have run the startup track mode and the printer gets stuck with the two squares on 64 and 128 which gives me the error 192: initializing VPPA. I have also reseated all the wires and nothing seems to work. If somebody would be able to assist me with this issue I would greatly appreciate the help. Regards Pieter

What part do I need to replace

Hello. What you are describing is a failing component on the power supply. Some part is working momentarily and then heats up and fails. Replace the power supply and you will likely fix the plotter. Power supplies can be ordered from: 0950 2623R HP Designjet 700 750C 755CM Power Supply

Hp designjet 130 carriage moves to the left and will not stop

If the printer has ink cartridges, check to make sure one of them did not come "undone" and is stickup up slightly. If so, just press it back in place.

HP Designjet 130 shows no ink on display but cartridges are full

Remove the cartridges and give them a good shake - this should fix the problem!

Colour problems when printing with dj 130

I had similar problems when I first installed the printer and after different tests we found out that the Magenta ink print head was faulty. Changed head to a new one and problem solved. You will need to recalibrate and do paper set up's again.
