I need a power cord for an HP Scanjet 5400c - HP Scanjet 5400c Flatbed Scanner

You can probably get this from HP. See http://h20141.www2.hp.com/Hpparts/Search_Multi_Product.aspx?mscssid=42F39AE6AD6B4EFBBC921EC42BADCDE3&SearchCriteria=Scanjet~5400C and select your model. There are 4 versions of the ScanJet 5400C listed. Then select power module in the drop down menu and click on the arrow; power cords are listed separately. Alternatively, click on the arrow for show all parts. The listings are clearly labeled for the country electrical system with which a given part is compatible.

I hope this helps.

For that scanner you will need AC power module, in this link you can see power modules for that scanner:

Check the Connections
in Most of the cases the Power Cable might be the Problem
Check with the Different power cable - from some other equipment

Hi timkin
Click on the link
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=59064&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us

You will see the drivers there.
If your O/S is not listed there, Hp does not provide a driver
Good luck

Did the power cord is connected properly, if so check the fuse

check power cord, usb cables, & fuse.

following this link i've found resetting instructions for this scanner:


1.. Disconnect the USB cable and the power cable from the
scanner. Make sure the power cable is still connected to the
power source.
2.. Press the Scan and Email buttons at the same time, while
plugging the power cable back into the scanner. The scanner will
enter a Demo Mode.
3.. Press the Cancel button on the scanner to start the test.
4.. To end the test, disconnect and reconnect the power cable
without holding the buttons down.


I've had exactly the same problem with my scanjet 5400c (blue distorted images) but after resetting the scanner (see instuctions posted above) the problem was fixed

You may want to try this web page that tells you how to get the HP 5300C
working in Vista. It works fine on HP 5400C as well.

I have a similar scanner, scanjet 5470c which is using the same power supply as 5400c and 5490c
2 weeks ago the scanner stopped working, yesterday i checked the scanner and found out that there was no power (12V)
the power module (black box) going into the 220V is a plastic box without service possibility. I took a screwdriver and a hammer to open the box. Inside the box i found a lot of electronics and yes a Fuse aswell. I did not have spare fuses, so like all bad boys i replaced the fuse with a wire, and guess what? .. yep I blew several main fuses in the house and now have a burned-out power supply.
the power module is still available at the HP Parts Store the part number is C8517-84201 i see a list price of 23 EUR

Before a buy a new power module I will first test the scanner with a spare 12VDC and see if he still works.

I will come back and tell you if it works...
