My Officejet Pro 6830 has begun making a very high pitched ringing noise when it sits idle. How do I make this stop???

 

Thank you

Hi folks, can you please try the firmware released 1st June and let me know if that resolves it?

 

Thanks

The noise is likely the power supply.  You will need to Contact HP for service.  In the US or Canada call 1-800-HPINVENt, elsewhere see the contact information here.

I have a new 6835 that does the same thing.  I spent 60+ minutes with multiple HP tech support employees (making sure my software & drivers were current, plugging it into a wall outlet rather than a power strip, re-setting the printer....  They finally decided to ship me a new one.  Employee said she's never come across such a case.  I told her to search the internet - I'm not the only one.  Interesting to see if the new one has the same problem...  My guess is it will.

Mine is doing the same thing and has been used only two weeks.  They need to figure out what happened during the latest update! #HP Read this!

Thanks for the feedback on this folks. Was it after a recent firmware update? (PNP1CN1517AR, released around 12th May)

 

 

Thanks

Ciara, 

 

I don't know if it was after a frimware update.  I think the printer is set to update automatically.  Any suggestions on how I could check?

I watched my printer do an auto update yesterday and later the same day I began to notice the high pitched noise.  Until yesterday I never heard this noise, so I am pretty sure the update is the cause.  If i do anything to wake it out of sleep the noise stops for exactly 5 minutes which is the sleep setting.

 

Would someone please look into this?
