Printer will not turn on after a power surge due to a thunder/lightening storm. It;s the only thing that was affected in our home.
Is there a fuse or resent button that can be replaced or activated to recover the machine? Thank you.

Hi @malvalou52,
I'd like to help with the pinter power up issue.
Let's try a power reset on the printer
Reset the product
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
Press and hold the power for 3 seconds
Have you tried different wall outlets or different power cables?
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
