@merkmort, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
If your HP OfficeJet 5258 printer won't turn on at all, here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot the issue:

✅ 1. Check the Power Source

• Ensure the power cable is firmly connected to both the printer and a working power outlet (avoid using surge protectors or extension cords).
• Try a different wall outlet that you know works.

✅ 2. Inspect the Power Adapter

• If your model uses a power brick, check that all parts of the adapter (from wall to printer) are securely connected.
• Look for any damage on the cable or adapter.

✅ 3. Perform a Power Reset

• Disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer.
• Unplug from the wall.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug the cable back in directly to the wall outlet, then reconnect it to the printer.
• Try turning the printer on.

✅ 4. Check for Signs of Life

• Look for any LED light blink or noise when plugging in—if nothing at all happens, it could be a hardware issue.
• If there's flickering or brief lights, that could mean a power supply or logic board issue.

✅ 5. Try a Different Power Cable

If possible:

• Use a compatible power cord from another HP printer (make sure voltage and pin configuration match).
   

If these steps don't help then it is likely a hardware issue. We suggest you please visit the nearest HP authorized service center, the service team will check and assist you.
