Some printers require time to turn on. These printers may or may not give feedback in the form of blinking light(s). Wait up to a minute for the power light to come on before proceeding with the steps below.
Instructions
If the printer uses a power adapter (module), follow the instructions below. If the printer uses only a power cord, see the section below entitled “ If the printer uses only a power cord .”
If the printer uses a power module
Follow the steps below to ensure power is properly supplied to the printer:
Check the power module part number against the part number listed in the User’s Guide to ensure the proper power adapter is being used.
Disconnect the power cord or adapter from the wall outlet.
Disconnect the printer data cable from the printer.
Disconnect the power cord from the printer, wait thirty seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the printer.
Disconnect the power cord from the power module and reconnect the power cord to the power module. This may not be necessary if the power module has a permanently attached power cord.
Reconnect the power cord directly into a working wall outlet. If the power cord was plugged into a surge protector or power strip, plug the power cord directly into a wall outlet instead.
NOTE:
"The HP Photosmart 8100, 8400, and HP Deskjet 6000 series printer power cords feature a green LED built into the power plug. If the LED is not glowing, the power module may have failed. Proceed to step 7 below.
If the printer still will not turn on or the power LED built into the power cord is not glowing, plug the printer into a wall outlet in another room. If the printer or power LED turns on when connected to an electrical outlet in another room, there is a problem with the power in the original room.
If there is still no power to the printer, then the power module, cord, or printer may be defective. Try the power module/cord on another HP Deskjet or Photosmart printer, of the same model if possible, to see if the power module is functioning. If the power LED is still not glowing, the power module may be defective. Replace the power module and cord.
If the power module/cord works on the other printer, then this printer is defective. Service your printer.
If you cannot determine whether the problem is the printer or the power module/cord, or if another printer is not available to test with, replace the power module/cord first. If this does not resolve the issue, service your printer.

If the power cord works on the other printer, then this printer is defective. Service your printer.
If another printer is not available to test with, carefully inspect the power cord for damage.
Inspect the power cord for visible damage. If the power cord is damaged, replace the power cord first. If this does not resolve the issue, or if the power cord looks fine, then service your printer.
Is pinter plugged into a power strip? Try plugging directly into wall. Make sure wall outlet is working correctly, try another item in plug in. Does printer have a power module or brick that is plugged into printer? That power module is there to protect your printer during a power surge, it may need to be reset. Is there a light on that brick or power module? If so, does it light up? If not, could be a bad power module. There is no such thing as "reset" button, so don't look there...It will have to be reset in a series of ways for an "external" module.

Not sure if this will help you..but worth a try.....
just because the batteries are new, does not make them good. Did it work with batteries before, try the batteries in something else like a flashlite.. Also does the radio have a ac/dc switch.
that means the power cord is faulty, the monitor does no send message to the power cord rather the power cord sends message to the monitor so its the power cord that's bad expecially if its an adaptor, thanks
