Product: Samsung printer c1860fw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

my Samsung printer do not communicate. The status display board only shows the sign Samsung. The display board empty otherwise. No copy, scan or any thing like that. The only button that respond when pressing is the POWER/Wake Up button, nothing else. Looks like all the software program in it is lost. How do we reenergise this dead machine.

Formatter is the one which USB & Lan port on it which you connect to your pc or router.

You can bake it first or maybe buy from eBay.

But what you really need to do maybe is call someone pro fix it for you.

Which means of bake is really bake it in a oven to heat the formatter to try to save it back.

Don't be doubt and google it you will find lots of them.
