Display screen is dark

[WinGrace]

Cannot see the items on the display screen any more.  Has a bulb burned out?  Can only see some items in red at the bottom.  Printer is low on ink but I can’t tell which cartridges because I can’t see the screen.

@WinGrace, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Is there any damage done to the screen?

Was there any liquid spillage or a thunderstorm lately?

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

No spillage on the computer.  Of course there are thunderstorms, but it was on a surge protector until I plugged it into the wall socket per your directions.  I have done all the things you recommend and it has not helped.  Updating the firmware on my computer would make no difference whatsoever.  The printer prints fine from the iPad, Windows 10 computer and iPhone.  I just cannot see the display screen on the printer itself.  It is dark and the icons are faintly dark red but not enough to read or use.  They are all still there and when I press various things I see that they are functional.  I just can't tell what I'm pressing. The icons on the side - home, back arrow, and question mark are well illuminated.  It's just like a lightbulb went out.  Can't figure out a way to replace it.  This is kind of ridiculous.
