I have bought HP Designjet Z6100ps. When I turn it on it gives me couple signals, flashing green light on the front panel and blank screen. Two times it worked good. The first time from the 5th attempt, the second from the 3rd. But now it's not loading the screen.

I checked all three fans - are working. I changed the main board battery. But nothing helped.

This is the video of front panel behavior: http://youtu.be/52zCsT8BnN0

 

The Power Switch LED is yellow before turning on from the front panel and then it's blue.

I also made photos of LEDs on the PrintMech PCA (attached).

 

Please, help. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I am having the exact same problem with my z6100ps.  I was wonder if you could explain how you fixed it?

HP Recommended

My Designjet Z6100ps won't start up. It makes a noise like a fax machine then a noise like a busy ring. The screen stay on but no error codes. What can check to make it start up ?

What exactly did you do to get it running ? My printer is doing exact thing. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
