Only green light flashing on RX620 - won't power on
I found the rx620 didn't bootup everytime or right away after about 10 months of light use. It became harder and harder - had to press power more often. called epson who said that because I bought it online - not at auction, but new thru a warehouse they wouldn't honor the warranty. I'd even purchased an extended warranty - no help - they refunded the 19 gbp.
So I kept using it, until only a green light flashes - no power on. When I tried the fix - pressing stop and B&W then power on there was a fraction of a second of a light in the monitor window. First sign of life. But still isn't booting. Any ideas?

I use the Windows XP SP2 drivers with Win 7. Before installing them, right click on the driver file, select properties, select compatibility and the select Win XP SP2.
Epson's RX620 scans and prints photos at high quality. Text, however, was slow to print and not that good.
Epson's
multifunction devices fall into two categories: general-purpose models
that are designed for home or small office use, and photo-oriented
devices such as this, aimed more at the enthusiastic amateur snapper.
Because it's a photography-centred device, the RX620 uses dye inks.
On photo paper, these produce more vibrant colours than pigment-based
inks, and a true gloss finish, but on plain paper produce inferior,
less vivid results.
The Stylus Photo RX620 is quite large, and looks dated - but it's
not short of modern photo-printing features. Its built-in memory card
reader is compatible with seven commonly used digital memory formats,
including xD and SmartMedia. Photographers using film will appreciate
the scanner, with its high optical resolution and transparency
backlight.
On plain paper the RX620's text printing showed bandingand rough outlines on default settings. Our five-page
black-and-white text document took two and a half minutes to print.
Increasing quality settings made it even slower.
We tried realigning the print heads to improve print quality. The
RX620's manual process involves choosing the best-aligned examples from
four rows of 15 patterns. This takes good eyesight, and it can be hard
to choose between similar-looking options. We needn't have bothered -
text remained unchanged.
Photo printing was far better. The RX620 produced some of the best
prints we've seen from a multifunction device, but only at its highest
quality - and slow - setting. Our A4 test picture took 15 minutes 12
seconds to appear.
The RX620's scanner is excellent, previewing an A4 sheet in six
seconds and scanning a 6x4in photo at 600 dots per inch (dpi) in just
14.5 seconds. Negative scan times were reasonable, with a single frame
scanned at 2,400dpi in 1 minute 40 seconds.
The RX620 can perform many advanced functions without being attached
to a computer, and its colour screen has a clear menu system. Prints
can be made directly from memory cards, photo prints or even film.
There are four document copying settings, but results using the default
Text quality are adequate for most office purposes.
The RX620 isn't a brilliant multifunction device. It does many
things well, but its printer is too slow, and simply not good enough on
plain paper.
Please rate my solution after reading it. Thank you
Use flashlight to shine inside of all possible visible areas of printers. Especially to the very right or very left. I'm sure you will find something. Remove it
All you need to do is perform a reset, by pressing and holding the "Stop", "B&W", and "Power" buttons all at the same time and holding them down for at least 10-15secs. It may take a few goes as there's a bit of a nack in getting the buttons pushed at the same time.
Thank you I use my printer for home stuff and just
soaked up all extra ink from pad into paper towel and
did the reset is no problem, just hold down the B&W and the Stop button while powering up the printer. Fixed it well. I was quoted $100 to do what took 10 minutes.
Thanks for tip!
