After a few short days, the printer refused to print an ordinary email document. I powered it OFF with the ON/OFF button bottom left, waited, and cannot get the power back up. I have changed locations, and cables, but it is dead. Obviously, no diagnostics or error messages. Nothing. Anyone encountered this? Mike M

@MikeMurphy, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
If your HP 7605 printer is not powering up despite trying different locations and cables, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to diagnose and possibly resolve the issue:
Check the Power Source:
- Ensure that the electrical outlet you are using is functioning correctly. You might want to test the outlet with another device to confirm it's working.
Examine the Power Cable:
- Inspect the power cable for any visible damage, and ensure it is securely connected to both the printer and the power outlet.
Perform a Hard Reset:
- Disconnect the power cable from the printer.
- Wait approximately 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cable.
- Attempt to power on the printer.
Use a Different Power Cable:
- If possible, try using a compatible power cable from another device to rule out a faulty power cable as the cause of the issue.
Examine the Printer for Any Signs of Damage:
- Check the printer for any physical damage or abnormalities that might have occurred.
Check for Loose Connections:
- Ensure that all connections to the printer, including any that are internal, are secure.
I hope this helps.
