My laser printer occaisionally resets or comes to life for few seconds

Hi @JcR49,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your HP Laser printer is occasionally resetting or powering on for a few seconds, it could be due to a few reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to identify and potentially resolve the issue.

Check Power Source:

• Loose connection: Ensure that the power cable is securely connected both to the printer and the wall socket.
• Faulty power outlet: Try plugging the printer into a different outlet to see if the issue persists.
• Surge protector: If the printer is connected to a surge protector or power strip, try plugging it directly into a wall outlet as these devices can sometimes cause power fluctuations.

Firmware Update:

• Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. Outdated firmware can cause erratic behavior such as resets or power cycling.
• You can check for firmware updates via the HP Smart App or the HP Support website.

Power Settings:

• Verify the printer's power settings to ensure it's not configured to enter sleep or power-saving modes too aggressively.
• On some models, you can access these settings via the printer’s control panel under System Settings or Power Management.

USB or Network Connection:

• If connected via USB or network cable, make sure the cable is in good condition and properly connected.
• Sometimes network issues or signal disruptions can cause printers to cycle power as they try to reconnect.

Faulty Internal Components:

• If the issue continues despite checking the power connections, it might indicate an issue with the power supply unit (PSU) or internal board of the printer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
