Does anyone know if its possible to get a new power button as mine was broken by my grandson, rocking the switch on and off.

Thanks for any help.

I think that button is getting stuck on the pc board.that might cause it to switch on and then shut down.Remove the panel and see if the problem is still happening if you just switch it on at the microswitch on the board.

The switch turns it on for about 5 seconds then it just shuts down, haven't seen any error messages on the front panel either.

Thanks for the reply 🙂

Well I finally got round to looking a the printer, I've left the end panel off as its the button thats causing the problem. Now when i push on the micro switch it powers up fine, just looks odd with an end panel missing.

Thanks for the help 🙂
